Back to EpisodesEpisode 6: Action Step: Calculate Your Total Family Balance Sheet
Description
Episode Summary
Most business owners know their business numbers cold—revenue, expenses, margins, cash flow. But ask them about their family's complete financial picture? It gets fuzzy. Today's action step changes that.
Your Action Step
Create a single document that lists every asset and every liability your family holds. Not your business—your family.
Assets (Everything You Own)
- Cash and bank accounts
- Brokerage and retirement accounts
- Real estate—primary home, rentals, land
- Business equity—what's your ownership stake actually worth?
- Life insurance cash value
- Alternative investments—private deals, syndications, crypto
- Vehicles, collectibles, anything of significant value
Liabilities (Everything You Owe)
- Mortgages
- Business loans and lines of credit
- Car loans
- Student loans
- Credit cards
- Any personal guarantees you've signed
Two Additional Columns
- Liquidity – How quickly can each asset be converted to cash?
- Control – Do you control this asset, or does someone else?
What You'll Discover
- Concentration risk you didn't know you had
- Illiquidity hiding in plain sight
- How much of your wealth is tied up in things you can't access
- The true picture of your family's financial position
