Wealth Wired Differently: 7 Advantages Entrepreneurs Miss Out on When Taking Financial Advice from Non-Entrepreneurs
Don't settle for financial advice from someone who hasn't walked in your shoes.The difference between you—an entrepreneur—and the average financial advisory client is massive. You don’t color within the lines. You don’t like being told what you can and can’t do. Most of the “rules of thumb” don’t mean much to you because you’d rather create your own path than follow the traditional path that everyone is on. You prefer to think about what’s possible rather than what limits and restrictions are in place. The word “retirement” probably makes you cringe. You don’t even remember a regular 9-to-5 or what it feels like when you can just go home and completely forget about work for the night or the weekend. You chose a different life…and all of the burdens, stresses, and opportunities that come with it. Most people don’t relate to your lifestyle as an entrepreneur and don’t understand why you think and work the way you do.
But you wouldn’t have it any other way. You love the thrill of it, the excitement of closing a big new deal, creating a new product or service that your clients and customers love, or expanding your business in a new way. Knowing how differently and uniquely you approach your life and business, why would you settle for taking financial and business advice from someone who's never walked in your shoes? Why wouldn’t you consult with financial experts who understand your entrepreneurial mind from their own personal experience?
In Wealth Wired Differently, seasoned entrepreneur, bestselling author, and financial expert Chad Willardson clearly explains the advantages you miss out on when taking financial advice from non-entrepreneurs. Drawing from his own entrepreneurial experience and nearly 25 years of counseling entrepreneurs, Willardson reveals the power of 7 advantages of working with an entrepreneurial advisor.
As much as you know you need experts in your corner when you don’t feel understood or in alignment with your financial team, that friction will hold you back and limit what’s possible. Wealth Wired Differently is here to help you solve that problem and get back to what you do thinking big, exploring possibilities, and creating maximum impact for the people you and your business serve.

Nothing is worse than taking advice from someone who hasn’t walked in your shoes.
Yet, there are literal industries filled with “experts” who can’t relate to your journey. And they’re giving you life advice.
One big hung-up I have with this is business professors in college who never started a business… but I digress.
Another big issue is when financial advisors advise entrepreneurs as if they are W2 employees.
This doesn’t work!
Thankfully, Chad Willardson is here to guide all entrepreneurs on their financial journey by giving real, time-tested advice that he has lived through personally as an entrepreneur himself!
Chad’s new book, Wealth Wired Differently: 7 Advantages Entrepreneurs Miss Out on When Taking Financial Advice from Non-Entrepreneurs, launches today!
Through this book we learn that the difference between an entrepreneur and the average financial advisory client is massive!
The financial advice can’t be the same to someone with a predictable paycheck coming in every 2 weeks compared to an entrepreneur who doesn’t know when his/her next dollar!
Yet, many financial advisors treat these two clients as the same. Wrong!
Chad goes into depth explaining the 7 advantages entrepreneurs miss out on when taking financial advice from non-entrepreneurs.
One of my favorite takeaways from Chad’s book is the exciting byproducts that come to fruition when you see you approach your finances as a creative entrepreneur rather than a traditional client.
He calls upon his own entrepreneurial experience and nearly 25 years of counseling entrepreneurs to guide entrepreneurs to handle their wealth differently.
If this book speaks to you within 5 seconds of looking at it, then you need to grab a copy! You’ll be glad you did.
