Throughout the course of Financial Planning Week 2017, from 8th to 12th May, we produced a series of special podcast episodes, all designed to explain how important financial planning is to your life.

Financial Planning Week is not just for people who have never thought about their finances, it’s for everyone, whatever your situation.

Putting some simple financial plans in place and making some smart decisions to help achieve your goals and dreams in life is the first step towards really taking control of your life and gaining valuable peace of mind.

In this episode of the podcast, on day one of Financial Planning Week 2017, I’m joined by my friend and fellow Financial Planner Ruth Sturkey to define Financial Planning and talk about the six-step process for Financial Planning.
