The top strategy identified as a success trait of business owners looking to build generational wealth is to employ their children. Your children should have a 1099 income. With this, they can start with IRAs and begin to generate their own revenue. The recent change in the income tax laws favors business ownership. If you look at the tax system you see that wage income, the W-2 income, is taxed the highest.

Next, you want to identify a business strategy. What particular industry do you leverage to create generational wealth so your next generation isn’t starting from scratch? If you’re a solo entrepreneur or a husband and wife, you can do what’s called a personal 401K and contribute up to $53,000 a year. You now have the ability to go to major companies like Fidelity or Vanguard where they have templates for you. This avoids spending thousands of dollars to get started. If you make a profit in your business a percentage of the profit can be invested into your own personal 401K or your SEP IRA. Depending on the amount of money going in, you will need to diversify your income streams because there is a high risk of putting every dollar back into your business. If your business fails you will lose all assets. Leverage and diversify your assets so all of your eggs aren’t in one basket.

There are a number of apps that provide start-up IRAs or Roth IRAs with as little as $50 dollars. Companies like Etrade and Fidelity have a minimum of three thousand dollars to start. Make sure to read the fine print. If you have an automatic account builder your minimum will be reduced by $50 – $100 dollars a month.

Finally, you have to build valuable assets by creating a recurring revenue stream (Example: memberships and subscriptions). Create a system around your business. The point is to build equity in your business. That equity is built through your ability to create a consistent revenue stream that repeatedly grows.

In conclusion, the best ways to build wealth for your family is to create income for members of the family, hire your kids and build wealth for your family members. Contribute more of your profits in tax-deferred and tax-free retirement plans, and create a valuable asset for generational wealth.
