Select a planner and define the scope of the services you want provided. Preparation - set the foundation for developing a financial plan via meetings with your financial planner.
Create and implement your plan.
- Analyze your current financial situation, determine goals and define expectations.
- Identify your needs – financial and otherwise. Set priorities so you will be able to develop financial goals that will meet your needs at the appropriate times in your life.
- Let your financial planner draft a written plan to address your specific needs. Be sure you are comfortable with the plan. It's YOUR plan.

Periodically review your plan. Try to anticipate the need for change and review your plan often. Make adjustments when your goals are not being met by investment performance or life situations dictate that change is necessary.
