    ENGLISH WILL FOLLOW:

    Pour pouvoir participer, vous devez vous inscrire à l’avance en utilisant ce lien. Confirmer votre présence sur Meetup ne vous donnera pas accès à cet atelier.

    De nombreux entrepreneurs se concentrent sur la croissance des revenus, l’expansion de leurs opérations et la réinjection de chaque dollar dans leur entreprise — tout en demeurant incertains quant à leur sécurité financière à long terme.

    Cet atelier explique pourquoi un revenu élevé ne se traduit pas automatiquement par une richesse durable et comment dépendre uniquement de son entreprise peut limiter sa liberté financière future.

    Ce que vous apprendrez
    Vous explorerez les trois erreurs les plus courantes que commettent les propriétaires d’entreprise lorsqu’ils cherchent à bâtir leur patrimoine, notamment :

    • Surinvestir dans l’entreprise au détriment de leurs actifs personnels
    • Sous‑diversifier leurs sources de revenus et leurs investissements
    • Retarder la planification de la retraite parce qu’ils ne s’attendent pas à « arrêter de travailler »

    Cette séance revoit la notion de richesse comme quelque chose qui se construit en parallèle de l’entreprise — et non « un jour » une fois celle-ci établie.

    Pourquoi c’est important
    Vous acquerrez une compréhension pratique et accessible de la façon dont les entrepreneurs peuvent utiliser les marchés boursiers et obligataires pour :

    • Constituer un patrimoine personnel au‑delà des revenus de leur entreprise
    • Renforcer leur résilience financière
    • Créer une liberté et une flexibilité accrues à long terme

    À qui s’adresse cet atelier
    Aux propriétaires d’entreprise qui souhaitent que leur argent travaille pour eux — maintenant et pour l’avenir — afin de bâtir une véritable richesse personnelle durable et éviter de dépendre de leur entreprise à long terme.

    Conférencière : Anjali Pradhan, CFA | Coach en investissement

    Offert en anglais et également disponible en ligne, en webinaire en direct.

    Many entrepreneurs focus on growing revenue, scaling operations, and reinvesting every dollar back into the business — yet still feel uncertain about their long‑term financial security.

    This workshop explains why strong income doesn’t automatically create lasting wealth, and how relying solely on your business can limit future financial freedom.

    What you’ll learn
    You’ll explore the three most common wealth‑building mistakes business owners make, including:

    • Over‑reinvesting in the business at the expense of personal assets
    • Under‑diversifying income and investments
    • Delaying retirement planning because they don’t expect to “stop working”

    This session reframes wealth as something that should be built alongside your business — not “someday” after it.

    Why it matters
    You’ll gain a practical, high‑level understanding of how entrepreneurs can use the stock and bond markets to:

    • Build personal wealth beyond business income
    • Strengthen financial resilience
    • Create long‑term freedom and optionality

    Who this workshop is for
    Business owners who want their money working for them — now and in the future — so they can build lasting personal wealth and avoid depending on their business forever.

    Speaker: Anjali Pradhan, CFA | Investment Coach
