Shownotes Transcript
In episode 3, we continue our wealth discussion, but with a focus on small businesses. We talk about what drives our entrepreneurial aspirations, the difference between having a job and having a business, and how to set your company up for the long haul. Specifically, we discuss the importance of processes, getting well-acquainted with your finances, succession planning. Finally, we talk about resources for learning about enterprise building if you don’t have access to a business consultant, CPA, or financial planner.
Note: We’re moving to Mondays! We will still be posting episodes every two weeks, so join us on October 23 for more real money talk.
