Here's some proof...
"I was a busy Financial Adviser doing a good job for people. Or, at least, that's what I thought!
Then I found Paul, who taught me his 'Inspiring Advisers' methodology. This changed everything for me - from just being a busy transactional financial adviser to a PROPER Lifestyle Financial Planner delivering much more value to my clients. This drastically increased my profits year after year. It also allowed me to take at least 3 months off each year.
Quite simply, Paul stopped me from being a busy fool!
Within 7Â years of adopting Paul's Inspiring Advisers system, I was able to successfully sell my one adviser practice for a very high multiple. All due to the 'sticky' nature of our fee income - and all thanks to Paul's 'Inspiring Advisers' training. I highly recommend it.â
Iain Wishart, Edinburgh
"After I first met Paul, I decided to follow his 'Inspiring Advisers' process. Thanks to this, I very quickly quadrupled the turnover of my business. More importantly, I had much more satisfied clients! My advice? Sign up to Paulâs online training - you canât afford not to!!"

Â
Now, letâs look at the Step by Step ModulesâŚ
Â
â Module 1: âGetting the Right Mindsetâ
This Module focuses on the Mindset needed to really succeed as a Lifestyle Financial Planner. It will help you to think differently. It will help you to think BIGGER.
When you get the right mindset you will become re-inspired about your role as a Financial Advisor - and then the rest is easy!
But what is âThe Right Mindsetâ? Well, youâll soon see. đ
Iâll show you how to think and communicate differently to most advisors - and leave them choking in your dust!Â
â Module 2: Understanding Lifestyle Financial Planning.
This Module explains exactly what Lifestyle Financial Planning IS, and what it IS NOT. (I should know. I conceived it!)
I'll teach you the key messages to tune in to and communicate.Â
Youâll see why most advisors who claim to be âFinancial Plannersâ arenât doing PROPER financial planning. And how you can use this to your advantage.
You'll see why Lifestyle Financial Planning is so necessary right now - and why thereâs never been a better time! And youâll learn why millions of people are so desperate for this type of service and will happily pay for it.Â
This Module will look at the benefits to you, your clients and to your staff of communicating and delivering a consistent, joined up Lifestyle Financial Planning service proposition.
â Â Module 3: How to Pitch Your Service - So Clients Understand The REAL Value You Deliver
This Module is one of THE most important modules. But you need to understand the earlier modules first.Â
This is about using the RIGHT WORDS at the RIGHT TIME to communicate your value and the benefits you can bring to the table.
This module will focus on how to successfully communicate Lifestyle Financial Planning - your powerful client value proposition to clients. It will show you how to demonstrate how your service revolves around your client's LIFE, not their money.
This will show you how to have your clients saying âWOW! This is what weâve always wanted from an advisor!! Why donât ALL financial advisors do this?!!!â And when they say that to you, youâll have no trouble pitching your fees! đ
Iâll teach you the best method of communicating proper financial planning to clients so they see why you are different and understand why they need YOU in their life - and why they should pay you extremely well for your service.Â
Iâll also be introducing you to the concept of REAL Wealth Management. (Most advisors havenât got a clue about this!)
I'll also be showing you the Top Ten Mistakes most Advisors make when trying to communicate their service - and how YOU can avoid them.
â Module 4: Getting Bigger Fees
This Module will get you thinking differently about how you value yourself and your service. It will get you earning more money, faster.Â
Better still, it will give you the confidence to turn down unprofitable clients, so you have time to get more of the profitable clients that you really want.Â
Hereâs the thing: itâs no good thinking Financial Planning sells itself. It won't. Clients won't understand proper Financial Planning until they experience it. And then, when they experience it, they'll get it.
So, weâll be covering HOW, and more importantly WHEN do you communicate your fee? And what is your fee? What's your minimum? And why?Â
This Module could help you double, triple or even quadruple your fee income within 12 months. Particularly when you start to feel more confident about the value that you are delivering.
â Module 5: Fact Finding & Discovery Meeting Skills
One of the most important skills today is that of understanding your client through effective fact-finding and discovery. But very few Advisors have been taught how to do proper âlife-centredâ fact-finding!
Most Advisors have been taught (by the Industry) how to do âGap Findingâ not âMeaningful Fact Findingâ. Thereâs a big difference.
Iâm not talking about being all âtouchy-feelyâ and tree-huggy and asking awkward (sick-making) questions like some âgurusâ suggest. Iâm talking about you KEEPING IT REAL and asking down-to-earth questions that clients just want to be asked!
This module will teach you my Fact Finding Discovery Meeting process. It will break down an inspiring client-focused Fact Finding process into easily adopted bite-size chunks.Â
Iâll show you how to ask the RIGHT questions in the RIGHT order.
Iâll show you how to 'dig deeperâ with clients. This will help you to improve your soft skills, your questioning skills and your all-important listening skills.Â
This Module will help you build greater levels of empathy and trust with clients âŚand all without coming across as 'weird', getting too touchy-feely - or, just as bad, getting sucked into talking about financial products.Â
Iâll show you how to take charge of the client meeting so you become more confident, more congruent and more efficient as you lead clients down YOURÂ Lifestyle Financial Planning path to give them the outcomes that THEY want. (A better life, not a better return!)Â
Iâll also provide you with sample Client Fact Finds and other downloadable scripts and templates.
â Module 6: Delivering the Financial Plan
This Module will cover the Financial Planning meeting and how to create a âjoined upâ experience for clients - so clients stay engaged in the Financial Planning process so that they take ownership of the plan âŚ.and then take action.Â
More importantly, done properly, youâll see why this is where the incredible value you can add becomes really obvious to your clients. They will see that your service is really about their LIFE, not just their money!
đ IMPORTANT: If you use any form of Lifetime Cashflow Modelling or Financial Planning Software, you need this Module. I was an early adopter of Cashflow Modelling software in 1990, and used it with every client, every time. It helped pay for my yacht! đ
Since then, I have helped thousands of Advisors use their chosen software to knock their clients' socks off with PROPER financial planning.
Iâll show you how to get the best results out of your software and get an incredible return on your software licence fees!
â Module 7: Segmenting Clients
FACT: most Advisors are just busy fools. They have too many clients they canât really afford to look after.Â
In this Module, I'll cover the importance of segmenting clients so that you can focus your resources on the clients that you can help the most and in turn who will make you the most money.Â
Iâll show you how to elegantly âdisengageâ from the clients that you no longer wish to look after or are just never going to be profitable clients. Iâll show you how to do this gracefully, WITHOUT upsetting them, without FIRING them, without suffering any clawbacks or risking being sued. It can be done.Â
This Module will save you loads of time that you might currently waste by having too many unprofitable clients. Itâs not complicated. You just need to know the simple steps to take - so you can get your life back.
â Module 8: How to Get MORE of the RIGHT clients!
The secret to financial success in Financial Planning is having MORE of the RIGHT clients.
Not just so you make more money, but more importantly, so you create great systems and processes and end up with a peaceful life! You see, if you've got more of the RIGHT clients, you can then make sure you have LESS of the wrong clients!Â
So, in this Module, Iâll share numerous PROVEN and PROACTIVE ways of getting more of the RIGHT clients. Again, itâs not complicated. You just need to know what to say, and how to say it.Â
Iâll show you how to be a magnet to the type of clients you want, whilst gracefully repelling the ones you donât want.
Iâll be covering referral scripts that work, prospecting techniques, and the use of social media, Iâll give you proven pre-approach letters and other marketing ideas. And, Iâll also share some of my secret marketing weapons, that are responsible for me having a million-pound yacht and being able to semi-retire at 45 to enjoy sailing it!
Iâll also show you how to use the member only version of my book, âENOUGH?â  to easily get more of the RIGHT clients. It's designed to sell your service for you, so you don't have to try too hard.
This Module alone is worth hundreds of thousands to you in extra revenue if you put these simple ideas into action.
â Module 9: Annual Client Meeting Process
This module will cover the ongoing service proposition to clients, and what needs to happen at the 'Annual Forward Planning Meetingâ. (Note I donât say âReview Meetingâ thatâs what other Advisors do. But that's NOT what you do when you are an Inspiring Adviser! We deliver PLANNING. And planning is all about looking forward, not backward).Â
It's about communicating a consistent message, year in and year out. That's how clients will trust you more and more, year after year, as your consistent ongoing service really helps them to get what they want out of life.Â
This Module will show you how to really earn your ongoing fees and why clients will be more than happy for you to be paid well regardless of what happens to the value of their investments.Â
This Module will also prove to you WHY and HOW you can keep the investment piece - and any financial products - as simple, painless and risk-free as possible.
This means you can take the focus OFF investments, performance and charges, you can STOP being a busy fool and you can get a quiet life - with real peace of mind for you AND your staff.
â Module 10: Business Processes
In this Module, we'll be looking at refining your systems and processes, including your all-important back office support systems, so that everyone becomes efficient and Planners spend more time with clients. We'll also look at the important role para-planners play and what to look for when you are looking to employ a para-planner. Thereâs also some added bonus material from Michelle Hoskin of Standards International. Michelle is a renowned systems and processes expert and she shows how to get your back office absolutely nailed once and for all.

Still not convinced?
Here's what Anthony Villis has to say...
"We came on board with Inspiring Advisers and adopted Paul's Lifestyle Financial Planning approach in 2014, and we havenât looked back. Itâs brought energy to our business and developed a sense of doing something incredibly worthwhile; helping change peopleâs lives in a positive way.
It really has changed everything.
Â
Anthony also says: "We had set up our business five years earlier and grown quickly, we had great clients, a beautiful office in Marylebone and we were very profitable. But, something was missing. We werenât enjoying work much, and we had done the same thing for twenty years. It was the financial advice equivalent of Groundhog Day. Every meeting seeming to focus on the latest thoughts on the stock market and what was going to happen to the Euro.
We were struggling to articulate why we were different.
In hindsight, that difficulty in articulation stemmed from the fact that there was no difference! We were doing the same as everyone else. Focusing too heavily on investments and tax planning. We felt frustrated. We felt bored of ourselves and we couldnât see how we could take the business forward. We had the desire to change, but where and how to start? That's when we found Paul and Inspiring Advisers. It really did change everything."Â
