The answers that you seek are inside your client. As long as you don't allow your own judgments and agendas to get the best of you, as long as you ask the right questions and as long as you practice attentive waiting, the clients will guide you to their true financial needs and desires.

Then, if you understand the inner world experience of the wealthy client, you will help him come closer to achieving the freedom that we all dream about.
