“Unlocking Your Business Wealth?
Brian is a specialist in business growth. He is extremely passionate about helping business owners build wealth in their business so they can become financially independent in the future and enjoy the lifestyle financial freedom brings.
Many business owners run their business with the focus on personal income, and the freedom of time.
However, the business can also be a valuable financial asset worth much more than the salary being earned. Business wealth is an asset that can create financial independence for the business owner.
Many business owners also put too much wealth in their business and when they wish to use this equity find it difficult to get out, or extremely expensive to get out. In many cases, it can be lost due to the market and elements of the business environment.
In this book, Brian discusses the building of business wealth and the opportunities it creates. Each chapter is a steppingstone to create business wealth.
A great short read, and necessary if you are an entrepreneur.
Brian discusses parts of the book, how it will help you grow your business and help you to avoid the traps that you may experience in your business life.
