Financial independence can mean many things to business leaders. For some, what’s valuable is the ability to make important business and career decisions without feeling constrained by personal finances. For others, it may mean having the option of not working or of being able to achieve work-life balance after an earlier intense career.

It can be difficult to delegate wealth management, unless you know you are working with a sophisticated thought partner who has worked with many others in your situation. But having found such an advisor, you can feel good knowing that you have a long-term strategy in place for your personal finances and are executing on the plan.

You may be experiencing a gap between how well you lead a business and how well you manage your own personal finances. Wealth management can demand more attention than may seem apparent. As with all things business, execution is harder than the strategy. By working with a sophisticated advisor, you can free up more of your precious time and mental energy for other pursuits.
