Episode Details

Episode Summary 

Traditional financial planning was designed for employees: steady paycheck, employer retirement plan, retire at 65, draw down assets. But you're a business owner with irregular income, business equity that doesn't fit in a retirement account, and complex tax situations. When you force your life into an employee's financial plan, things break.

What You'll Learn

• Why the standard financial planning model assumes you're an employee
• What traditional planning doesn't account for (business equity, irregular income, liquidity needs)
• The specific ways traditional planning breaks for business owners
• Why the family office model was built for complexity
• How to upgrade from employee planning to owner planning

What Traditional Planning Misses

• Business equity and how to convert it to personal wealth
• Irregular income and cash flow timing
• The need for liquidity to seize opportunities
• Complex entity structures
• The desire to pass on more than just money
