Question

Should I build personal savings outside my business?

Answer

Yes, building personal savings outside your business is one of the most important steps you can take toward financial independence. When too much of your wealth is concentrated inside the company, your financial security depends entirely on business performance or a future sale. Funding retirement accounts like a SEP-IRA or solo 401(k), keeping cash reserves, and building a diversified investment portfolio outside the business can help give you greater flexibility and confidence.
