You’re making money. But is your construction business actually building wealth?

The truth is, most construction business owners have 70% to 80% of their wealth tied up in their business with no real plan for what happens when they can’t or don’t want to run it anymore. Mason Brady sat down with Jason Lee, vice president and wealth advisor at Exponent Prosperity Accelerator Advisors in Houston, to break down what true wealth planning actually looks like for construction business owners.

This episode is for you if you’re a construction business owner who is making money but isn’t sure what to do with it, hasn’t thought seriously about exit planning, or wants to understand how to build real, lasting wealth, not just a business that pays the bills.
