Here’s an uncomfortable truth most people don’t want to think about:

Making lots of money doesn’t guarantee financial independence.

Look at NFL stars, for example. They routinely make 7 figures a year. And yet, 78% of NFL players wind up broke or under financial stress after they retire.

Same goes for the majority of celebrities: Hollywood actors, reality TV stars, you name it.

We’re going to go out on a limb and say that at least part of the reason you became an entrepreneur is financial. You want to have a comfortable lifestyle, retire with lots of savings, and leave a sizable inheritance to your children. Who doesn’t?
