Finding your center: Risk vs. Reward. Where is your comfort zone?
Does my current approach to planning give me clear direction to where I am heading?
Am I missing out on investment opportunities?
How do I balance my desire to pay down debts while addressing my other financial priorities?
Will my plans to protect my heirs, be carried out as I desire?
If something were to happen to me, will my family be able to put everything together?
Is what I have accumulated enough - to be able to sustain my lifestyle later in life?
What is the best way to arrange my affairs that affords me to pay the least amount of tax?
How can I minimize my total cost of borrowing and building wealth at the same time?

Falsely believe that financial planning means receiving a good investment return
Do not realize that an RRSP or a corporation is generally not a tax savings strategy, but rather just a deferral
Pay more taxes than they should
Are not properly protected against the unexpected
Overpay for insurance or are underinsured
Still base their future success on guesswork or market timing
Do not have a plan in place that quantifies their decisions and compares against alternate approaches
Typically only consider fees when considering investment success
Have too much complexity in their finances and seek simplification
