Passionate evangelist for financial education, literacy, and independence. Advisory solutions and problem solving for businesses; risk management, business planning, building brand equity, capital raising and more.

When it comes to our financial lives, more than ever, businesses and people need support and objective strategic advice that get us where we need to go. 

We are either in control of our finances or it controls us. This is especially true for business owners and startup founders. This is the challenge I help clients overcome.

Professionals and business owners that fail to plan, plan to fail - and plans with clearly written and measurable goals are more likely to succeed.

Businesses need a plan for growth, success, and, exit or succession. Professionals need a plan of action to make sure they never run out of money, to manage risks and to create their legacy.

Wanna be a billionaire so freaking bad? Who doesn't? But it's like the more money we come across the more problems we see...

Although there are way more billionaires than ever before, the vast, vast majority of us will never have billionaires problems...but money stress and anxiety are universal. As is the desire for financial freedom and independence. Money is a powerful tool creating options and choices. How we live creates how we use it and how we use it creates how we live.

We all learn from the actions of others so why not take the opportunity to learn from the most financially successful cohort of all time. Especially when UBS pulls it all together for us with some very practical, useful, and actionable takeaways:

* Extreme wealth is built by owning productive assets (businesses, equity) over long periods, not by trading headlines.

* Their money is active across countries and asset classes. They’re worried about tariffs, geopolitics, and other risks just like everybody.

* A massive wealth transfer is underway, but over 80% of billionaires say they want their kids to be able to succeed independently, not just live off a portfolio.

* Longer lifespans and focus on legacy shifts the thinking to decades long time horizons… and updating wills and trusts regularly.

Translated to “tachlis” for normal earners:

Save and invest every month, automatically. 

Keep enough liquid to cover emergencies and invest the rest.

Diversify globally; don’t bet everything on one country and definitely not an employer.

Use tax‑advantaged accounts and make a simple will. Keep all stakeholders in the loop and make decisions as a unit.

Teach kids and others how to earn, save, and invest. Get them going with some skin in the game early for long term payoff.

Mindset and attitude are key. And health really is wealth.

You don’t need billionaire money to copy billionaire behavior. You just need a simple system you actually follow. Sometimes the first steps are the hardest. 

What actions or shifts are you hoping to make to create the life you deserve and desire? It doesn't have to be all about the pursuit of more at the cost of all else. But building value,  stacking up equity and wealth creates the environment to pursue, achieve, and leave great things.

Would love your thoughts and takeaways whether you read the full report or just run it through chatGPT. Thanks!

Billionaire Report

Just sharing a little bit of the vibes at LinkedIn's Winter Mixer for Financial Services and thanking Karin Levi for the invite. It was a great evening meeting and learning how others in the industry are leveraging the platform in varied ways as we go through an era of tremendous money in motion. 

Tldr, it's super powerful.

Great hearing from Ivy Gamble-Cobb of The Family Center - especially now it's vital to have others in mind and they do great work. 

Rick Lake, CAIA, CETF, CBDA spoke about leveraging AI in our work and storytelling, go follow his work as things change rapidly in the space. 

Oh, and I won a raffle, for April Rudin's new book! Looking forward to reading and sharing insights soon.

It really was a vibe - have you gone to any holiday events yet? How do you make sure they're a good use of everyone's time? And how are you using LinkedIn so it's an actual good use of your and your team's time and effort? 

Happy holidays!

Breaking news: Water is wet!

I mean, if you didn't know this already, where have you been? I don't know what metrics or rubrics this is based on but Israel at #1 is so expected, so unsurprising...that, to me, is what is completely mind-blowing. 

Don't fact check me but seems the Switzerland, in 5th place is closer to the US at 2nd, than the US is to Israel on this StartupBlink report. 

That's wild!!

Secure the Bag: Capital Variation with Lady Margareth Gonzalez 

Entrepreneurs that have a clear, purposeful mission, an attitude that nothing will stop them, deep reserves of resilience, and a clear focus on the problem they're solving have an excellent recipe for building successful businesses.

Talking to Lady Margareth Johana Gonzalez Avila I got the real sense of that, especially here where she talks about how it was always predestined to start something. So much of what we do, how and why we do it is shaped by how we were brought up, what we experienced early in life. That has clearly lit a fire in her to create and build her platform into a community building machine. 

More and more people are taking the entrepreneurial route; nearly 4 in 10 professionals say they'll be working for themselves asap. There's certainly a shift happening, supported and forced by new technologies and priorities. 

Are you in that cohort? What's the fire burning inside you to make it work, why are you the one to fulfill that mission? How can this community support you and your work, to overcome your challenges?

Looking forward to hearing and sharing your stories and supporting however I can.

Netflix gets what it wants!! This is really incredibly huge news for content, media, entertainment, sports and an important moment for how, well. everything is distributed into the future. It brings so much under one giant umbrella that in any other time would probably it be really doable just based on market dominance and regulations. But things are different this time, it seems. 

The concern above and beyond the monopoly piece is just how much content feels like neverending AI slop. Competition is good, especially in an attention economy. Incentives drive outcomes; what incentives does a dela like this encourage and create?
