"After years of working closely with entrepreneurs, I’ve seen that many treat their business as their main retirement plan.

"Dr. Gregory Bott's Rethink Your Financial Purpose offers entrepreneurs a smart, practical approach to building wealth that endures beyond the business itself.  Grounded in real-world experience, the book outlines a practical framework built on three core asset classes – business ownership, index funds, and real estate – showing how they work together to create stability, independence, and long-term wealth. Dr. Bott’s advice is approachable, actionable, and relevant whether you are early in your journey or refining an established financial plan. More than a wealth-building manual, this book challenges entrepreneurs to think intentionally about legacy, purpose, and the impact they leave behind. A valuable read for any business owner ready to plan with confidence and build a future that endures."
