Michael Vanikiotis Entrepreneur and Certified Financial Planner®

Hey, I’m Michael Vanikiotis and this is the first issue of my newsletter I created specifically for the next generation of founders and entrepreneurs looking to take advantage of the next wave of business opportunities while continuing to build their net worth and secure their future.

I currently work with business owners, startup builders, and solo entrepreneurs who are focused on business growth—but don’t want to be broke at 50 because they forgot to build personal wealth along the way.

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.

What inspired me to start working with Business Owners?

Most founders pour everything into their business—time, energy, capital—and treat personal wealth like it’s something they’ll figure out after the exit.

But let’s be real:

  • Not every business has a big exit

  • Most exits take longer than you think

  • And even great businesses can burn out great people

That’s why I created this newsletter: to help you build personal wealth as you build your business.

By a founder for founders!

What to expect from this Newsletter:

Every 1–2 weeks, I’ll send:

  • Tactical wealth tips for entrepreneurs

  • Insightful breakdowns on investments, taxes, and exit prep

  • Real frameworks I use with clients building wealth behind the scenes

  • Tiny financial habits today will change your entire future as a founder.

No fluff. Just smart, actionable ideas that respects your time.
