Ep #167: Integrating Cash Flow Planning Into Your Financial Planning Process - An Interview with Steve Crawford
August 29, 2018
Steve Crawford is a financial advisor, a coach to other financial advisors, and the founder of both Experience Wealth and The Advice Movement. After working in the industry and realizing he wasn’t serving the client base he wanted to focus on, Steve started his own financial planning firm at what was probably the worst possible time to start a business: 2008.
Despite the timing—and despite committing four major don’ts with his own firm—Steve has been steadily growing his business and helping his clients become financially independent. Since bringing on a couple of other advisors, he’s shifted his focus to providing cash flow planning services, and also training other advisors on how to provide this service. Listen in to hear how Steve integrated cash flow planning into his service model, where the majority of his clients come from, and what to expect from the cash flow presentation he'll be giving at XYPN LIVE 2018.
