Are you relying on popular wealth-building books but still unsure how to actually follow their advice without stressing over every dollar?

This episode breaks down two of the most influential personal-finance books for Canadian business owners—I Will Teach You to Be Rich and Becoming Your Own Banker—and reveals the hidden challenges most readers never address. You’ll hear how seemingly “simple” strategies like automated index investing often collide with real human behavior, business-owner cash-flow fears, and the psychological barriers that keep money sitting idle. You’ll also get a grounded look at infinite banking—what works, what’s misunderstood, and how to avoid forcing yourself into rigid systems that don’t match your goals. If you’ve ever wondered why “the math makes sense” but still feels impossible to follow, this conversation will connect the dots.

You’ll discover:

 • Why strong wealth strategies fail without accounting for real-life behavior and cash-flow uncertainty
 • How a “wealth reservoir” can make investing easier, safer, and more consistent than traditional emergency-fund thinking
 • A clearer way to blend equities, fixed income, and high-cash-value insurance so your plan reflects your reality—not someone else’s formula

Press play now to learn how to apply the best ideas from these two books without falling into the common traps that hold business owners back.
