The Founder’s Dilemma The conundrum of those who start, grow and exit companies
Does this sound familiar?
You are laser focused on your company; running it, growing it, and making it successful. That’s a good thing. But you may be falling victim to an unfortunate side effect: Everything else falls to the wayside, including your own financial life.
You want to address it and know you really should, but it overwhelms you to even think about it. Things like having no estate plan, no idea how your investments could and should be working for you in a smart way, how your current business assets are working for you, managing how both your personal and company debt is structured, and the list goes on.
There’s simply too much to do, a lot to learn, and there are many different options. It’s task overload, so you just revert back to what you already know – growing your company.
