Key Points

  • Investing time and effort into a small business as an employee can lead to potential ownership opportunities, but it requires a deep understanding of the company's financial health and long-term viability.
  • Before seeking equity or phantom equity in a company, employees should have transparent conversations with owners about the company's financials and their own value contributions.
  • Evaluating whether to invest in a small business or in more traditional investment vehicles like stocks requires careful consideration of both personal career goals and the financial stability of the business.
