Entrepreneur Aligned Podcast

As a business owner, the path to building wealth is often marked by unique challenges and opportunities. While there is no one-size-fits-all formula for success, there are several key strategies that can significantly enhance your wealth-building journey. In this week's episode, Jarrod discusses six essential strategies that can help you not only create a thriving business but also accumulate wealth over time.

ABOUT JARROD

Jarrod was born into financial planning and solving financial problems. With his financial advisor father Steve telling stories about finance around the dinner table from an early age, the idea that everyone has a different financial situation was always there. After an early professional career spent in nonprofit and government, Jarrod came back to his roots helping people plan and invest in 2011. Since then, he has worked with individual clients, led internal teams and ultimately became partner and the CEO of Destiny Capital in 2017. With a passion for helping entrepreneurs change the world, Jarrod ultimately oversaw the creation of Entrepreneur Aligned in 2020. With both Destiny Capital and Entrepreneur Aligned, Jarrod leads teams that help people live lives of abundance where money is simply a tool to let everyone be a positive force for the world around them. When he isn't working with the talented teams for EA and DC you can find him chasing his twins, wily trout or a podium spot at an OCR race.

What do we mean when we talk about risk management? As entrepreneurs, our job is to make sure that our businesses and personal lives have no singular failure points. Some of the biggest risks we face are around the two broad terms of "business continuity" and "liability risk".

In this week's episode of the Entrepreneur Aligned Podcast, Jarrod discusses these two types of risk, the impact they can have on your personal planning, and how to protect yourself and your family in the years ahead.

What happens when your business is not performing financially as well as you thought it would? What happens when that underperformance means that some of your family priorities are not met? When these things happen, you can either increase the amount of owner benefit being withdrawn, take on debt or sell some or all of the equity in the business. In this week's episode of the Entrepreneur Aligned Podcast, Jarrod dives into each path.

In today's episode of the Entrepreneur Aligned Podcast, I walk you through the three-step decision making process we here at Entrepreneur Aligned take clients through when they are purchasing their second homes for vacationing. This process works well for any vacation or seasonal-use property, but there are certain steps, locations and seasonal elements that are specific to mountain town ski properties that I outline as an example.

Entrepreneurs have demands on their capital and reserve requirements that most others do not. Thinking about these in concert with personal needs and requirements requires a different approach.

In this week's episode of the Entrepreneur Aligned Podcast, Jarrod segments capital reserve requirements into the following categories. He goes over why each piece of capital is being held in reserve and provides helpful examples and strategies for each one.

Business

1. Business working capital needed within 90 days

2. Business reserve capital that could be needed in 90-180 days

3. Business reserves needed more than 180 days into the future

Personal

1. Personal cash needed within 180 days

2. Personal reserves that cover debt and expenses between 180-365 days

3. Known big ticket items needed one-to-three years in the future

The theme of cash and capital reserves for your business and family is to forecast what you will need and match the investments to that need. We do this work with our client families, so please reach out if we can help yours.

How do you close gaps that exist when partners need different things from the business? If you haven't listened to our last episode of Part I, go back and listen for an overview of our first three phases of business owner equity planning with multiple partners. In today's episode of 3-Minute Success, we are going to finish Part II of this series and go into Phase 4.

Phase 4 is about integrating everything together into a unified strategy that meets the needs of each partner. This phase is always the most nuanced because we usually uncover gaps in the current business strategy, which are most likely:

1) Time horizon based

2) Owner benefit need based

3) Exit outcome need based

Let's dive into each of these common gaps and allow me to offer some possible solutions for each one.

Seeing business exits fail is one of the reasons we created Entrepreneur Aligned. One of the areas where we have seen failure points is when there are multiple owners of a business and their needs from that business are not in sync. At Entrepreneur Aligned, we have a process to uncover needs, get clear individually, and create a strategy that works for each partner. We call this our Partner Aligned process. In this episode of the Entrepreneur Aligned Podcast, I will walk you through each of the key phases and tasks of this process, starting with the first three and concluding with the fourth phase next week!

We often get asked what the difference is between retirement planning and business owner planning when it comes to personal finance. The answer is focus. For most non-business owners the focus of financial planning is retiring successfully while hitting the major financial milestones of life between today and the day you retire. For business owners, the focus is on meeting all the needs, wants, and goals of the family while also nurturing and growing the business. In today's episode of the Entrepreneur Aligned Podcast, I dive into some of the key differences in personal planning based on where the focus is.
