Ever wondered how exiting a successful business can turn your financial world upside down?


In this episode of The Greatness Machine, I am flying solo to share some hard-earned lessons from my own journey through entrepreneurship and investing. 


I dive into the unexpected challenges that hit after you exit a business and how they can impact your financial future. After my own business exit, I faced a critical realization: just because you are great at making money does not mean you are automatically skilled at managing it. I will also explain how my initial missteps led to valuable insights and the strategies I have developed to turn things around.


Join me as I lay out the key elements you need to consider to protect and grow your wealth effectively. From the basics of cash flow to the nuances of investment structures, I will guide you through what it means to manage your money wisely after a big exit. This is part one of a series where I will delve into these topics and share insights from my experiences.


Tune in to discover how you can avoid common pitfalls and make informed decisions that align with your personal financial goals.


Topics include:

  • Establishing a solid passive income strategy before exiting
  • Prioritizing tax efficiency for entrepreneurs
  • Understanding the difference between earning money and investing wisely
  • Implementing risk management for effective wealth preservation and growth
  • Avoiding panic selling and aligning investments with risk tolerance 
  • And other topics…
