There's a version of financial planning that's technically excellent and personally empty.
It optimises numbers without ever asking what the numbers are in service of.
I've seen it in my own work, and I've seen it derail clients who sold their businesses and had no idea what came next.
I’ve spent 22 years helping founders plan their financial futures.
Detailed projections, tax structures, investment strategies, and exit modelling.
And for most of that time, I never once sat down with my wife and properly asked, "What do we actually want our own life to look like?"
Not the business. Not the portfolio. The life.
The most important financial conversation most couples ever have isn't about tax.
It's about values.
About what "enough" looks like. About what the next ten years actually mean for both of you - not just the one running the company.
Tomorrow's Bulletproof Entrepreneur newsletter is about exactly this.
Including a tool we've developed at Capital Partners that I now use with clients - and tested on myself on a Sunday evening that got unexpectedly real.
If you're not on the list yet, subscribe at the link below. It lands Saturday morning.
The conversation you might have with your partner will be worth more than most advice you'll pay for.

Learning how to hold two thoughts at the same time:
- Our government is inept and anti- business.
- There are so many incredible entrepreneurs in the UK, building brilliant businesses.

It stirs me Alan.
As a Dad to 2 teenage boys. Both very different. It stirs me.
I dont pretend my kids follow or listen to me. I wish. But I think his points are very valid.
They need role models. Guidance. And they are looking in the wrong places.
The issue is, their friends are in the same places, games, chat rooms.
It takes a leader to do it in 1 group and that's rare.
I think we need better education. Kids need to be taught what they can do and what it takes. Thats the but I think is key.
My kids see my success (to an extent im not trying to be arrogant)
They dont see the sacrifice i made to be here.
Sorry for ranting

Have you watched The Manosphere with Louis Theroux on Netflix?

🎥WHO PLACED THE BET?
Someone just made a killing with an extraordinarily well-timed bet on financial markets, minutes before Donald Trump's announcement of war talks yesterday.
Was it luck, or inside information?
Either way... someone just got rich.

Why I am building @hope_currencies
hope (GBP, USD, EUR)@hope_currencies
Where did the 3% go? Money supply has grown 6.7% a year on average for the past 50 years. Inflation has averaged 3.7% over the same time period. Prices should have fallen by 3% each year for the past 50 years, but they haven't, they have got more expensive. Compound interest is the "eighth wonder of the world" according to Warren Buffet... Well, equally powerful, but equally devasting, is a "3% compound loss". This is the problem we are solving @hope_currencies. To provide a consistent yield above inflation with minimal volatility and risk (target <0.5% annualised). Our dream is to make the lives of those "living in hope" 3% cheaper, 3% easier, 3% more abundant - year, after year, after year. To enable people to build a better money future for themselves and their family. #livewithhope

Imagine any one of us having to continually hit up the credit card in order to pay interest on our other credit cards. 🤦🏻♂️

So the UK's 10-year gilt yield - the cost of government borrowing - is now up at 2008 levels. An 18-year high The difference is that, back then, UK national debt was 48pc of GDP, and now it's the best part of 100pc. So the debt service costs are much MUCH heavier. Of the £14.3bn the UK government borrowed in February alone, no less than £13bn of that was spent on interest on existing debts - a situation which is not only unsustainable, but very close to provoking a disastrous financial collapse. Yet still, our national discourse is all about more spending, more borrowing, more "state intervention". When is the Labour party – and much of the listless, unthinking rump of the UK's political and media class – going to start acknowledging reality? WHEN ....?

86% of UK founders and business owners say that the current government does not understand the needs of entrepreneurs.
I'm surprised it isn’t even higher.
