How Do Operating Environments Impact Business Risk and Investment Decisions? In this insightful episode of Grow Your Business & Grow Your Wealth, host Gary Heldt speaks with Ryan Zabrowski, Director of Investment Committee at Krilogy. Ryan shares valuable wisdom from his decades of financial experience, as outlined in his book "Time Ahead: The Investor's Guide to Prosperity and Impact," and explains why understanding operating environments is crucial for achieving business success. Key Takeaways: → The risk of starting a business varies dramatically based on timing and operating environment, just as walking down stairs is different when they're covered in ice versus when they're dry → Business owners often overestimate future cash flows due to natural optimism - creating realistic scenario analyses with probability assessments is critical for long-term success → Understanding accounting is fundamental for business owners - it's the language of business that allows effective communication with bankers, investors, and financial partners → Young professionals must take responsibility for their growth and be committed to putting in extraordinary effort - successful careers require sacrifice and dedication → Having the right financial team in place (financial advisor, tax preparer, and estate planning attorney) who communicate effectively with each other can dramatically impact long-term wealth preservation Quote from Ryan: "I think we're a bit in the hand-holding culture. What we need to explain to young professionals is they have to take responsibility, or the majority of the responsibility, for their professional growth. Those goals associated with large amounts of income are very hard to achieve, and they take sacrifice, commitment, and hard work."
