4 Crucial Investments Everyone Under 50 NEEDS To Make and How to Build Real Wealth while Enjoying the Journey with Dustin Bezalel President and Founder of Creative Financial Network
What's your real retirement plan? If it's "sell the business someday," this episode might be the wake up call you need. Cary Jack sits down with Dustin Bezalel, president and founder of Creative Financial Network, to talk about the money mistakes entrepreneurs make and how to fix them before it's too late.
Dustin shares why procrastination is the biggest threat to your financial future, and why about 85% of business owners can't retire if they don't sell their business. He breaks down how to diversify across risk, tax, and liquidity, how much to keep in your emergency fund, and the four financial protectors you need at every stage of life. From life insurance to long term care, it's clear, practical, and easy to act on.
But this isn't just a money talk. Dustin opens up about growing up watching his mom struggle financially, trading a culinary career for financial freedom, and how he "waters every plant" in his life, from family to faith to fitness. If you want to build wealth without losing yourself in the grind, this one's for you.
