Ever wondered how exiting a successful business can turn your financial world upside down?

In this episode of The Greatness Machine, I am flying solo to share some hard-earned lessons from my own journey through entrepreneurship and investing.

I dive into the unexpected challenges that hit after you exit a business and how they can impact your financial future. After my own business exit, I faced a critical realization: just because you are great at making money does not mean you are automatically skilled at managing it. I will also explain how my initial missteps led to valuable insights and the strategies I have developed to turn things around.
