Which is Better - $1 Million in Revenue or $1 Million in Net Worth?

I hear a lot from my clients about the revenue goals that they want to achieve in their businesses but what I don’t often hear is clients talking about their net worth and so today I want to discuss an exciting topic that many business owners tend to overlook: the importance of building your personal net worth over revenue.?

What is net worth, you may ask? Simply put, it is a measure of an individual's financial position that is calculated by subtracting liabilities from assets. In other words, net worth represents the difference between what you own (assets) and what you owe (liabilities). Assets can include real estate, investments, savings, retirement accounts, and other valuable possessions, while liabilities encompass debts such as mortgages, loans, revolving credit card balances, and other financial obligations.? It is a useful tool for measuring and growing wealth.

As an expert in finance, I have helped business owners take control of their finances and build their net worth, even with a six-figure business.? Many small businesses focus solely on revenue, but as I have seen firsthand, having a seven-figure revenue with no profit is pointless. You're essentially working for free and burning yourself out in the process. Instead, I encourage you to think about what you can do with the money you have now and how you can build your net worth through passive income, equity, and other avenues.

As an business owner, it's easy to get caught up in branding yourself and making your business all about you. However, this can be detrimental in the long run, as it creates a business that is only valuable if you stay in it. If you're building a business with the goal of eventually selling it, then it's essential to focus on creating value beyond just your personal brand.

Building your net worth doesn't have to be complicated, and you actually don't need a seven-figure revenue to achieve it. In fact, I grew my net worth to 7 figures? with only recently hitting multi-six-figures in my business. It's all about focusing on the full picture, growing your business revenue, while also building your net worth.

Passive income is a crucial element to building your net worth. When you create passive income streams, you're creating income that doesn't require active work. This means that even if your business takes a hit, you still have income to fall back on, which is crucial for long-term financial stability.

It’s vital that your wealth goals not only focus on on growing your business but also on building your net worth. Make it a priority to look at the numbers, both your personal finances, and your business finances to make them work for you to grow your net worth. With the right tactics and strategies, it's possible to build a business that not only supports you and your family now but also in the future.
