Episode notes
Downside Protection
- Consistently take dividends out of your growing business to reduce downside risk.
- Most businesses don't succeed long-term, and even fewer sell, so don't rely on a sale.
Opportunity Cost
- Consider the opportunity cost of active investing versus focusing on your core business.
- If your business generates significant income, prioritize its growth over smaller investment returns.
Cash Reserves and Passive Investing
- Keep 6 months to 2 years of living expenses in cash for peace of mind.
- Invest excess cash passively (e.g., S&P 500) and consider loans against assets for new ventures.
