Are you sitting on piles of retained earnings but still unsure how to actually put your money to work as a business owner?

So many incorporated business owners believe they’re “well invested,” only to discover most of their wealth is sitting idle in corporate accounts — untouched because of uncertainty, fear of volatility, or analysis paralysis. This episode unpacks the real reason business owners think they’re invested when they’re not, why this misunderstanding creates missed opportunities year after year, and how over-focusing on finding the “perfect” investment stalls real progress. You’ll hear what 400+ conversations with business owners revealed about risk, liquidity, and the mental blocks that keep money on the sidelines instead of building long-term freedom.

You’ll learn:

  • Why your perceived investment risk profile often doesn’t match your actual asset allocation — and how to fix it
  • A simple framework for deciding how much cash to keep liquid versus how much to put into diversified, productive assets
  • The small, consistent steps that reliably move retained earnings into growth without overwhelming complexity or added stress

Press play to learn the most important wealth-building lesson business owners need before stepping into 2026.
