EP. 298: Why Rich People Own Businesses (And What They’re Really Doing With Their Money)

Ep. 298
Join Gabriel Shahin, CFP® and CEO & President of Falcon Wealth Planning, as he breaks down Chapter 7 of his new book, How the Rich Get Richer—revealing why so many high-net-worth individuals own businesses, and how they use them to build long-term wealth.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ The surprising tax benefits business owners use
✅ How owning a business can create passive income
✅ The truth behind “write-offs” (and what’s legal)
✅ Why some people build legacy wealth—while others just build stress
✅ The key difference between starting a business to sell vs. building one to last
✅ And how vision, discipline, and strategy separate wealthy entrepreneurs from struggling ones

This chapter isn’t just about owning a business—it’s about understanding leverage, compounding, and what separates rich habits from broke ones.
