The web-based program covers a broad range of subjects that cause conflict and stress, with a focus on those events that have the most significance consequences: death, changes in wealth or income, and serious illness. The design of MoneyPowerLove allows advisors to tailor a custom approach to supplement the advisors specific field of expertise and to highlight the most critical aspects of their clients situation.

There is an increasing call for professional specialists to distinguish themselves as 'most trusted advisors through their support of a broad range of client needs," explains Bonnie Brown, president of Transition Dynamics Inc. and author of the MoneyPowerLove program. A key role for the trusted advisor is to be the driving force for their clients long-term planning related to personal and family issues, including those surrounding the delicate themes of money, power and love. The worksheets, fire drills, exercises and questionnaires that comprise the MoneyPowerLove program provide advisors with objective business tools and a process for discussing these sensitive issues. The results are an on-going consideration and clarification of their clients deeply-held attitudes, values and goals upon which their expectations are based."

Co-author Dr. Patricia A. Frishkoff adds that it is not unusual for clients to consider the significance of a death or serious illness only when they are preparing a will or when the catastrophe is upon them. Both individuals and families should periodically re-evaluate their attitudes and assumptions on a wide variety of sensitive topics such as the consequence of a significant loss of income or a disabling medical condition. It is critical to ensure being prepared should something unexpected happen. The MoneyPowerLove program serves as a primer for advisors to guide their clients in these discussions and the ensuing decisions."

As a web-based program, MoneyPowerLove is easily accessed by users through any Internet-connected computer. This feature ensures that families that use the program as a family-wide planning process always use the same tools. There are no problems or confusion caused by the differences that can occur with traditional software upgrades and revisions.
