We designed the YFSOL Partnership fill a hole that many other financial planners leave in your journey towards financial success. Most other financial planners only go as far as drawing up a financial plan with you. Maybe you get an annual review, but that’s not always guaranteed either.
Not only do we insist on annual reviews of your plan to make sure it’s on course to deliver the outcome you need, we also put an emphasis on mentoring and guidance. Our job isn’t done until you reach your goal. So we will be there every step of the way.
Why? Because it’s hard to keep going with a financial plan for an extended period of time. Things happen; life happens. And when you’re facing headwinds, it can be tempting to give up.
So we developed a support programme to keep you motivated when the going gets tough. We’re part financial planner, part life coach.
We have a series of motivational e-books and videos, along with Insider Briefing, a monthly newsletter that has tips, insights and a quarterly video update from the people who are looking after your investments: Glyn and Andrew at Momentum Global Investment Management.
Help yourself to the ebooks and videos below. Interested in getting Insider Briefing in your email inbox every month? Go here:

The Biggest Mistake
If you’ve been in yachting for 5 years, you’ve probably earned $250,000-500,000. (And, probably, you’ve spent nearly all of it?)
Take Ryan (who is real, by the way). Ryan thought he had plenty of time left in yachting, so it didn’t matter if he spent heavily. There would be lots of time to put some money aside.

You’re not alone.
In reality, you have 10 to 15 years max left—if you’re lucky. One day, sooner than you think, you will wake up to find yourself either fired from yachting, or burned out and dreading going back on board. And you’ll have wasted your opportunity to have some serious money with which to build a future.
Ryan encouraged us to produce this video based on his story. He is one of you. Please watch the video and avoid the mistake he made.

5. Expert Tips for Avoiding & Dealing with Setbacks
The worst kind of knowledge is the knowledge you don’t know you don’t have. When you don’t know what you don’t know, it’s difficult to go and find it. After all, you don’t know what you’re looking for.
But there is a simple solution: work with an expert. In this mentoring session, Clive takes you through the life-changing experience he had working with an expert navigator at a rally.
You’ll learn:
- Experts won’t be tricked (and won’t allow you to be either)
- Experts have seen it all before (so you don’t have to)
- Experts dodge failure by preparing for it (and you dodge it along with them)
- Experts know the rules (and apply them to your advantage)
- What experts teach you is yours forever (so use the knowledge often)
- Setbacks are part of life. Instead of derailing your life plan, they should only be a minor blip—even the big ones, like your car grinding to an absolute halt and being overtaken by the rest of the field.
6. Turn Change into Opportunity
Change is a fact of life. And it comes in two flavours:
- Change you control
- Change you don’t control
Obviously, change you can control is better than change you can’t. But you don’t always get to make that choice.
In this mentoring session, Clive talks you through momentous change in his life that led to him founding what would ultimately become Yachting Financial Solutions. He talks about reacting to sudden, unforeseen change outside of his control, as well as how he (and Teresa) were able to take control of other changes that affected the business later on.
You’ll learn:
- What people give you, they can take AWAY AGAIN. Clive tells you how to stop this happening.
- The strategy for dealing with change is similar to successful investing
- Change is a catalyst for opportunity
- Why some changes causes more discomfort that others
- The key steps to take when faced with change

9. The Faulty Perfect Plan
Has this ever happened to you?
You’ve set a clear, concrete goal with a deadline and created a schedule to make it happen. You’re confident in yourself and you’ve committed to nailing your goal perfectly. Not only that, you are working your hardest to achieve it.
Uh-oh, you’ve just set yourself up to fail…
Like so many other plans, made by so many other people, the whole thing peters out. You never reach your goal. You don’t even come close.
Why?
Join Clive for mentoring session and break down the causes.
In this video mentoring session, you’ll learn:

10. Has the Movie of Your Life Stalled?
Do you recognise this?
You’ve started production on the Movie of Your Life but somehow it has stalled.
You feel you did a lot of hard work to get to this point. Or at least… you did something.
Or did you?
Was it actually something, or was it an illusion? Movies are, after all, make believe.
We see this problem time and again. People think they’ve done something, when in reality they haven’t. Sure, they’ve done something that makes them feel like they’ve done something, but they haven’t actually done something meaningful.
They’ve fallen into a common trap. They took a step. But they didn’t take the next logical and vital one. Why? Because they felt the first step was enough.
You will never reach your destination if you don’t take the first step. Neither will you get there if you stop after you’ve taken it.
Join Clive for this mentoring session that looks in more detail at how to get beyond Step 1.
In this video mentoring session, you’ll learn:
- What makes people think one step is enough
- The barriers to taking more steps
- How to overcome the inertia and take the next step
- The ONE thing that will help you kickstart the Movie of Your Life
- How to live like an independent filmmaker
- And much more…
Remember: Our life goal is to help you achieve your life and financial goals.
