You may have any number of aspirations, as a small business owner. Maybe you want to just stay small and lean, at the helm of a business that supports your lifestyle and nothing more. Or perhaps you see yourself on a mission to take your company from a small business to a major player in your space.

Regardless, everyone needs a little guidance and inspiration. Here we share our top tips for managing wealth as a small business owner.

1.   Surround Yourself With Positive Influences

If you own a business you have a need for experts in your life.  You hire accountants, lawyers, consultants, and bankers to help you with your business. And even if you're just starting out, it's essential to split up business and personal finances

2.    Plan Accordingly

In business, action and result are separated by the dimensions of distance and time. Very often, the cause of the action and its effect are not connected. 

Good strategy and planning reduce the risk of making uninformed decisions. It is about knowing what you do now in the context of what you are trying to achieve in the future.  If you have a clearly thought through intention, there is a better chance that you will achieve your desired results.

3.    Don't Hold Excess Capital In Your Business

While holding as much cash as possible seems like a logical solution to potential cash flow problems keeping lots of excess cash on hand may actually be detrimental to your business. Smart business owners try to strike a balance between maintaining necessary cash reserves and hoarding too much cash.
