Why even successful entrepreneurs need expert financial guidance

Achieving financial success is a strong motivator for many entrepreneurs and executives, and you’ve done it. Your leadership and sharp decision-making are recognized, respected and necessary, so you use and rely on those attributes often.

Here’s the catch: Experience, good timing, education — whatever the key to your money-earning prowess — does not necessarily translate into success in other areas. The fact that you can make a lot of money does not necessarily mean you know how to best manage it. Recognizing and understanding that is hard. When you’re in business the goal is to make money and grow.

When you’re using the fruits of your labor to create security, happiness and a lasting legacy, the same rules don’t apply. With most leaders, the joy is in the “doing” and resetting that sense of achievement requires navigating the issues of taxes, lifestyle, philanthropy and family dynamics. The skills/motivation to cover those bases are rarely in the wheelhouse of many entrepreneurs.

Which brings to mind the practical adage of “do most what you do best.” Here’s how to do just that. Find someone who gets up in the morning to manage purposeful, workable trusts, ferrets out goal-specific investments, and truly understands what you want your life story to be.

Your job, successful money-earner, is to be the CEO of your wealth management, not the manager. Or the armchair quarterback. If you’re looking for that kind of partnership, do your homework.
