Are you letting too much of your business’s hard-earned cash sit idle when it could be working for you in multiple ways?

As a business owner, you know the importance of having liquidity—an emergency or opportunity fund you can access instantly. But parking that money in a savings account or GIC often feels wasteful, especially when inflation eats away at its value. The challenge is balancing peace of mind with real growth. That’s where the idea of a “wealth reservoir” comes in: a structured way to protect cash, keep it liquid, and still put it to work building long-term wealth.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How a whole life insurance policy can serve as a corporate wealth reservoir, giving you both liquidity and steady growth.
• Practical strategies for deciding how much to contribute and how to scale as your retained earnings grow.
• The emotional and financial considerations for starting small—and why most successful business owners eventually build multiple reservoirs.

Press play now to learn how to transform idle corporate cash into a powerful engine for security, opportunity, and long-term wealth.
