Episode notes
Risk Perception of Entrepreneurs
- Entrepreneurs perceive risk differently due to control, treating their business as less risky than a diversified portfolio.
- This perception stems from the emotional connection to their life's work, not just a financial instrument.
Diversification Advice for Business Owners
- Don't assume diversification is always best; understand the owner's goals and business lifecycle.
- Consider if they want independent wealth, if the business needs full investment, or if partial diversification is suitable.
Wealth Scale and Decision-Making
- The scale of wealth significantly impacts decision-making, as larger businesses allow for different approaches to independent wealth.
- Smaller businesses require a longer-term view, focusing on maximizing cash flow and saving a portion for independent wealth.
