Most founders focus on how much they make.
The smart ones focus on how much they keep.
I learned this the hard way.
Made millions. Lost millions.
All because I didnโt protect my own money first.
If I could give one piece of advice to every business owner:
Manage your money like you plan to keep it.
Hereโs how I do it every time I get paid:
1. ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ณ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐
- Before you spend a penny on the business, take a percentage out for you.
- 5%, 10%, even 1% doesnโt matter.
- Put it away in savings or investments that arenโt tied to your company.
- Itโs not about starving the business itโs about making sure youโve got something if it all goes wrong.
2. ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐๐ต
- Once youโve secured your slice, use the rest to plant seeds.
- Courses. Equipment. Events.
- Anything that grows your skills, your network, or your businessโs earning power.
- Money sat still is wasted.
3. ๐๐๐ถ๐น๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ ๐ณ๐๐ป๐ฑ
- Three to six monthsโ expenses. Minimum.
- This isnโt โrainy dayโ money, itโs your lifeline when the market turns or a deal falls through.
- Iโve had years where this was the only thing that stopped me from going under.
4. ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ
- Not to penny-pinch but to cut the crap.
- Subscriptions you donโt use. โLittleโ purchases that add up.
- Every pound you stop wasting is a pound you can redirect into growth or security.
Do this long enough and something changes.
You stop feeling reactive.
You start feeling in control.
And thatโs where real wealth starts.
