Your host and skipper

Your stay on board 'Spellbound'  will be hosted by owner, Paul Armson.

Paul became a successful financial planner after he conceived the concept of 'Lifestyle Financial Planning' in the very early nineties. He delivered this to every client, every time.

15 years after developing Lifestyle Financial Planning he followed his own "It's Not a Rehearsal" advice and semi-retired at the age of 45.

Since then he has been passionate about helping other Advisers to succeed at a higher level with Lifestyle Financial Planning. He does this through his One to One Coaching, Workshops and his Inspiring Advisers online training programme.

Paul first got the sailing bug in 1994. He followed his heart and decided to commit to his dream and pay his deposit on an Oyster in 2002. 'Spellbound' was launched in 2005 and over the last 15 years Paul has sailed over 80,000 nautical miles onboard Spellbound with mainly just him and his soulmate, Lynn, onboard.

"Feedback two weeks after the event? This has really kicked me into action.. to the extent that there is a real "rush" that I haven't felt for a while! Fantastic!"
 
Feedback four months later: “I’ve pretty much-re-designed everything in my practice as a direct result of a week sodding about on a boat!”
 
Patrick Waller, Ascot - now retired after the successful sale of his business

"What an experience! Paul's yacht, Spellbound, is a truly fantastic venue to get together with like-minded, forward-looking, ambitious professionals. Time was spent in animated discussion, debating the key issues and sharing ideas and best practice. If you ever get a chance to attend this event, don’t hesitate; you wont regret it!”

Euphoria and cold beer...

"It was my wife that encouraged me to attend a week on Inspiration Afloat – she thought I’d lost my mojo and could do with some new motivation.
 
I wasn’t sure what to expect – I have always respected Paul and the way he looks at financial planning so thought ‘why not?’   
 
What I can say is that after the initial euphoria of being on a great yacht, drinking a cold beer and meeting new friends (the other planners on board are still mates now), we got down to brass tacks.
 
I was asked to bring the issues and problems in my business and these were discussed at length - with new solutions and inspirational ways of looking at my issues offered.
 
Since attending Inspiration Afloat, our repeat income has increased dramatically, we are very choosy as to who we take on as clients and now have a much better value proposition.
