Today, we're talking about something that sounds simple but changes everything about how your advisory practice feels, for you and for your clients: your client rhythm. I'm talking about how often you meet, what happens in those meetings, and how you keep momentum alive between them. When you get this right, your clients get far better results, and you get your life back.

The biggest mistake I see advisors make is picking one meeting schedule—weekly, monthly, quarterly—and applying it to every single client. While it sounds efficient, it's a trap. If you meet too often, you create dependency and become a firefighter instead of a guide. If you meet too rarely, you lose relevance and clients start to wonder what they're paying you for.

In this episode, I’m going to show you how to find the perfect meeting cadence for each client by identifying their unique rhythm. I’ll walk you through the three types of advisory rhythms—Reactive, Growth, and Strategic—and give you a simple tool called the Rhythm Matrix to diagnose exactly what each client needs right now. This isn't about organizing your diary; it's about building a practice where structure turns your great advice into real, lasting change.

Key Takeaways

1. Is your one-size-fits-all meeting schedule accidentally creating either needy, dependent clients or disengaged, distant ones? Discover the two dangerous extremes that most advisors fall into.
2. What are the three distinct client "rhythms" (Reactive, Growth, and Strategic), and how can you instantly tell which one your client is in right now?
3. Why must your most hands-on, frequent meetings (the "Reactive Rhythm") be treated like an ambulance and not a long-term treatment plan?
4. How can a simple 2x2 grid—The Rhythm Matrix—instantly reveal the perfect meeting cadence for any client based on just two factors: their capability and their business complexity?
5. Why do most advisors believe more meetings equal more value, and what's the counterintuitive truth about how reducing meeting frequency can actually increase your client's results and your freedom?
