What You'll Get

Monthly Executive Summaries

Each month, you receive a written executive summary (1-2 pages) focused on that month's theme. Personalized action items reference your specific situation and comprehensive plan recommendations.

Quarterly In-Depth Meetings (45-60 minutes)

Four meetings per year (February, May, August, November) follow a consistent agenda: life updates, progress review, theme deep-dive, planning software review, and action items. This creates a predictable rhythm for learning and implementation.

Continuous Planning Software Access

Ongoing access to professional planning software with updated projections, document vault, and scenario modeling. Your comprehensive plan stays current as life changes.
