Most entrepreneurs won’t reach that singular exit that retires them for life. So why is their strategy to build wealth rooted 100% in their business?

If you feel the urge to go all in and invest 100% in your business, you’re not alone. But spoiler alert: Running a business is hard and selling your business for enough to spend your retirement at the Four Seasons with a pina colada in hand is even harder.

In today’s episode, Andrew Foxwell and I talk about how entrepreneurs can build wealth outside of their business by focusing on three different buckets of investments, why a diversification strategy is something to consider, and how we are preparing for looming financial issues that are on many people’s minds.
