The Financial Independence Journey as an Entrepreneur

The FI Planner

Being an entrepreneur can be a daunting experience, but finding financial independence through meaningful work can also be incredibly rewarding.

“One of the most difficult aspects of entrepreneurship is managing the emotional volatility that comes into play day after day of doing all this work and not necessarily seeing any of your results come home, materializing, and money being produced. You do start to wonder, what the heck am I doing?”

But with some planning and calculated risks, you can find those rewards as well.

In this episode, listen for

• How Ben and Deb found financial independence as entrepreneurs.
• What you can expect to hear in future episodes of the FI Entrepreneur.
• How their experience sets them apart from other financial planners.

Ben Martinek is a certified financial planner, an enrolled agent with the IRS, a certified student loan professional, and a retirement income certified professional. Deb Martinek has a master's degree in theology with a specialization in catechetics. In addition to her work in the church and with Bona Fide Finance, she’s also an entrepreneur in the fertility care world. Together, Ben and Deb help their clients and community plan for the future.
