Are you relying on popular wealth-building books but still unsure how to actually follow their advice without stressing over every dollar?
This episode breaks down two of the most influential personal-finance books for Canadian business owners—I Will Teach You to Be Rich and Becoming Your Own Banker—and reveals the hidden challenges most readers never address. You’ll hear how seemingly “simple” strategies like automated index investing often collide with real human behavior, business-owner cash-flow fears, and the psychological barriers that keep money sitting idle. You’ll also get a grounded look at infinite banking—what works, what’s misunderstood, and how to avoid forcing yourself into rigid systems that don’t match your goals. If you’ve ever wondered why “the math makes sense” but still feels impossible to follow, this conversation will connect the dots.
You’ll discover:
- Why strong wealth strategies fail without accounting for real-life behavior and cash-flow uncertainty
- How a “wealth reservoir” can make investing easier, safer, and more consistent than traditional emergency-fund thinking
- A clearer way to blend equities, fixed income, and high-cash-value insurance so your plan reflects your reality—not someone else’s formula

Transcript:
Jon Orr: Today we are going to talk about two books that I think most Canadian business owners, entrepreneurs, investors either have read or will read as they are highly influential books for wealth building. Today we want to talk about those two books and maybe a slightly different take than what you may be expecting. But that’s what we’re talking about. So let’s get into it.
Kyle Pearce: Hmm.
Jon Orr: And let’s not beat around the bush here, Kyle. Let’s dive right in. What would you say is the first book that you’ve read and also, you know, we think like most Canadian business owners will read or have read. And you’re not, you know, also would say like you should read this, but you also should read this thinking about this way or that way. Let’s get into it.
Kyle Pearce: Yeah, so these books today that we’re going to talk about, I mean, there’s a ton that we’ve chatted about and we hope to chat about in future discussions here. This one’s a little bit of a curveball because it’s really designed for the average North American. Really, anyone around the world could dig into this one. But I think it’s a really important one for people to get a sense as to sort how you can become rich. And actually that’s the title of the book. It says, I will teach you to be rich by Ramit Sethi. And actually he’s got a Netflix series where he does a bunch of case studies and they go through and a lot of times it sort of starts in my opinion on more of like the Dave Ramsey path, right? So, you but slightly different approach, you know, he’s more open to spend money how you want, feel good with money, like you’re making money so that you can utilize it and spend it. So really like the mindset there. But sometimes when he talks about the actual wealth building approaches, sometimes the parts that I think, I mean, on paper, they work. He’s a big index investor, an advocate for, listen, you budget to pay yourself first by taking a certain amount of money, putting it into typically index funds and letting it go. also is sort of an anti advocate for the use of say advisors like wealth advisors, for example, right? They take fees and you know, mutual funds have high fees and they you know, and if you do the math, right, like these are calculations you can do and it makes perfect sense that yes, if you put money into index funds, if you do things that way and you pay less in fees, you’re actually going to be better off in the long run, but The part that we want to talk about here today. So first of all, great read worth looking at. But the part that we want to kind of highlight here is sort of the tough part about actually doing what he’s suggesting here. And that is taking a certain chunk of money and actually putting it in for the long term into things like equity funds, whether it’s a global equity fund, SMP fund, whether you’re a Canadian investor, TSX, whatever you believe in. to actually put it in there, continue to contribute to it every year, and then leave it pretty much until you’re ready to hit that financial freedom number. On paper, the math makes perfect sense. The problem and the challenge that I wanna sort of expose here about doing something like that is that oftentimes behavioral economics and the research around what we do and behaviorally how we act as humans, is oftentimes quite the opposite and really in two ways. The first one is being able to actually commit as much money as you possibly can to making that investment decision. Because once you say bye to that money, you’re saying bye for a while. And usually it’s a long while. And that oftentimes can hold people up, especially earlier in the journey. Earlier in the journey, That money you’re thinking, what if something goes wrong? What if I need that money? What if I have to pull that money back and the market pulls down? Or the second issue that I have, which again, very, very, you know, behavioral economics focused is that we often do boneheaded moves at exactly the wrong time, right? So in my mind, I’m going to put money in there. I’m going to let it go. And it’s like, yep, I’ve got a 20 year horizon. Maybe I’ve got a 15 year horizon. Maybe I’ve got longer. But then that market starts to dip. And actually, as we’re recording this today, the market is dipped. It’s dipped 1 % today. And I look at that, and even though I know and I’m confident and I don’t need the money that I have invested in the market, it still makes you go, I wonder if it’s going to dip more. Or is it going to come back tomorrow? Is it going to be next week? Is Trump going to talk about tariffs? What’s going to happen here? And oftentimes, we make poor choices. with that particular book, something that I wanna highlight here today is that oftentimes when we put together our strategy, sometimes the most rational strategy that we can use often is not necessarily the easiest to actually implement in reality. And therefore we recommend that people start looking beyond just a simple one sort of hit wonder approach to your wealth building strategy as you’ll understand through our four stage process.
Jon Orr: Yeah, yeah, like I think what you’re hinting on here is that even though the helps you create a pathway and it gives you a clear step-by-step approach in a way, and I do love the very specific budgeting aspect of the book to specifically say, in order for you to be rich and to use, say, and invest these, funds that are above and beyond what you really need to live, you get to decide what that budget looks like. His famous one is like, you think living rich now is having your Starbucks coffee every morning, because that’s what you really value, then put it in your budget. But then make sure that you’re choosing other things so that you relieve the cushion. Right, that’s what his big message is. And I think that speaks to why we say, make sure you read the book, because it’s like, That speaks to, in a way, our first phase of a healthy wealth plan, which is really knowing what it is that you’re after, what do you want your life to look like now, what do want your life to look like later, what are the numbers that you need to know, which means you gotta know your budget, you gotta know how much you’re spending, how much you’re wanna spend later. Like, I really like that part of the book, but I think what you’re saying here is that we, it’s like, even though he’s going to teach you how to be rich, and here’s the pathway to exactly be rich, which actually reminds me a lot of another book called The Simple Path to Wealth by J.L. Collins. Very similar messaging, very similar structure of book. Same lessons, same lessons. Says index funding is the way to go. But what you’re getting at is like, I will teach you exactly the right pathway, but following the pathway, you’re gonna fall down. Like you’re not gonna get there. And it’s like this, it’s like you, we’ve used this analogy here on the show before is that you know already the pathway to like be healthy. You know, it’s just like I can exercise daily, get my 20 minutes of vigorous exercise every single day, eat right. But so many people can’t do that. And everybody knows that that’s exactly the path. It’s like, but we still can’t follow it as a society or an individual to stick to that pathway. It’s like, Ramit’s like, I will teach you the pathway. But then there’s no guidance on how to do it, which what we’re saying is like, okay, follow the pathway, but what you need to realize is his pathway actually is setting you up in a way for failure because he’s not working in how to account to make your mind be okay with following the pathway, which in our opinion, you’re missing the stage two, the phase two, which is like your wealth reservoir and making sure your wealth reservoir, which other people call that an emergency fund. We don’t call it an emergency fund anymore. We call it our wealth reservoir because it’s our opportunity fund. It’s our emergency fund. It’s very flexible, which allows your mind, right, it allows your mind, yeah, it allows your mind to be like that pathway that Rameet’s talking about. Makes sense now because I’ve now, developed a system and a plan and I’ve got this tool or this fund that is allowing me to sleep better at night.
Kyle Pearce: Right. Well, and you know, something that’s interesting. So budgeting, obviously, whether it’s personal or on the business side in your corporation or both is a really helpful thing that can help you feel more comfortable with the amount of money that you do put into your investments. One of the biggest like hiccups that I see in these types of plans where we go like index funds, set and forget psychology of money as well. Another great book. He’s sort of articulates the same messaging, right? Like just get the money in there. Don’t be a captain stock picker. Don’t try to be a hero. Just do it. The problem is, that when people are deciding how much money to put in, it’s always easier when it’s like the extra extra money in your budget, like, but not just the extra money. And what I mean by just the extra money is like, that’s the money that you’re like, but this month might be a little bit more expensive than last month. Like we might do something different. That’s my cushion. So taking that extra cushion for people, they don’t put it into the market. If you don’t put it into the market, then you’re not gonna get that same result that seems so simple and easy, right? It’s like, if I always know that I don’t need a dollar above blank, whatever is in my budget, it’s much easier to do. But here’s the thing, even then, like even if you’re an amazing budgeter, it’s hard to take all the rest and put it into something that is supposed to go off for quite a long time. So I’m gonna use an example of RSPs for a second. A lot of people don’t utilize their RSPs even when they should, like even when they’re in a really high tax bracket, say a T4 employee that can’t control the income that’s coming in, they’re like hesitant to put as much as they probably could put into the RSP because they see it as like, you know, I say the high security prison, that money goes. It’s gonna grow and it’s gonna be helpful at some point down the road. But you’re like, but what if in two months from now, I change my mind and I wanna do something or I wanna buy something and maybe I don’t want the cup of coffee. Maybe I want the car. Maybe I want that. Like these are all things that go in our mind. So what do we do? We wait paralysis analysis and the big challenge that I see happening and I wanna flip to the business owner side in a moment here is that we have a lot more money sitting doing nothing because of this analysis paralysis, then doing something with it. So what’s really important here is like when we look at average rates of return and we always use numbers that are lower than what the actual SMP returns. Why? Because the vast majority of investors actually don’t get that number, not just because of fees, but also because of bonehead moves, how long we put the money in, when we put the money in, all of those types of things. So if we said like 8 % is like a nice average rate of return, but we’re not putting all of that additional money in, we’re not gonna get the same result that you might anticipate when we look at a spreadsheet, right? And we say, hey, listen, we’re just gonna put this much money in and get 8 % a year. What we see on the business owner’s side, because they’ve got additional risk in the fact that most of their chips are in their business, right? Their business is where most of their wealth lies. They often are not as willing to put in as much of that extra extra chunk that I was articulating a moment ago because they’re more concerned about what ifs. What if the invoice doesn’t get paid on time by the client? What if the tariffs mean that I’m going to have less income or less revenue completely? What if, what if, what if there’s so many what ifs there. So a lot of times what we’ll see with business owners, they have a significant amount of say retained earnings but they’re usually sitting in a checking or maybe even a savings account. Sometimes they’ll toss it into a GIC, but it’s like a 90 day, cause you’re like three months, I can get my hands back on it. Yeah, exactly. So it’s like, if you take all of that extra money and you were to follow Ramit’s plan and you put it into index funds in 20 years from now, you’re going to be like, wow, like that was amazing. But the problem is, that behaviorally we’re unable to do so. Why? Like, fight or flight, like we’re like, my gosh, I don’t know what’s coming next. And that’s where our wealth reservoir idea, whether I’m a unincorporated, you know, T4 business or employee, or whether I’m an actual incorporated business owner, there is a place, there is a lane that we feel that people should be putting money into what we call that opportunity fund. And it starts usually as like a savings account or, you know, something fixed income. But as you start building out your quote unquote portfolio, I would much rather see anything that’s in the market goes into those equities, whether it be global, whether it be a split of US, the NASDAQ, TSX, whatever it is, like do those things with the extra extra money. But the rest of that money you treat as your fixed income, safety, conservative, liquid, accessible money. bank, which we call the opportunity fund or the wealth reservoir. And for us, as that bank grows, it does make sense to transition from something like say, as checking or savings account that’s going to get taxed into something like say a high early cash value permanent policy to only replicate or use as a bucket for those funds. We don’t want to see money coming out of the market. Like Ramit would say, no, you don’t take money out of the market. 100 % we agree, but for that portion that could go in the market, but you’re unwilling to put into the market or into real estate or into Bitcoin or into gold bars that you’re going to bury in the backyard, like whatever it is for you that you’re not willing to do those dollars, you can be so much better off by optimizing growing it and then keeping that liquidity there so that, hey, you might hit a certain point in the journey where you go, I’m ready to start putting more into those growth opportunities. What do we do at that time? We start to leverage that bucket because we’re feeling safe. And for me, I’ll be honest, I will teach you to be rich. It’s not about Starbucks every day, like Ramit’s saying, like, does that make you happy? What makes me happy is knowing that I am financially secure. I have growth, but I also have safety because who knows what’s right around the corner. People are talking about housing bubbles. They’re talking about the stock market bubble. We know there’s a bubble. The question is, when’s it gonna pop? I don’t know. It could be next year. It could be 10 years from now. I don’t know. So I wanna get the upside, but I also wanna be ready for when that does eventually happen, because it’s not an if, it’s a when, so that we can then pounce and also feel like, my lifestyle isn’t actually gonna be negatively impacted. Mind you, my mindset will still hurt, because I don’t like to see number go down. But if and when it does, I know that I’ve got enough healthy enough bucket here that I can essentially do whatever it is, whether it’s Starbucks or backing up the truck and putting it right into that market.
Jon Orr: So we would recommend you read, I Will Teach You to Be Rich by Rumi Seti. But when you read it, if you’ve not read it, you can go read it, but then come back here and re-listen to this episode. Because you’ll wanna re-listen to this after you’ve read it to go, oh yeah, right, I need to build that part of my plan so that I can feel truly rich. Okay, let’s get into the second book that we have read, we highly value.
Kyle Pearce: Yeah, 100%.
Jon Orr: And the second book that we would highly recommend we’ve read, we’ve taken a lot of value from, we would encourage all business owners, Canadian business owners, entrepreneurs, investors to read this book. is definitely sitting, needs to sit in your tool belt area, is Becoming Your Own Banker by R. Nelson Nash. In this book, I think if you’ve heard of this book, you’ve read it, you’ve probably also ventured down the infinite banking tunnel. And this the idea that becoming your own banker is to eliminate the banking system inside of your own family or your own networking, so that you have flexibility, you have freedom from, you know, doing whatever you need to do, you want to buy a car, you use your own banking system. If you want to invest in something you, you use your own banking system, you want to lend some family members some money, you use your banking system, you know, if you set up this system, which is what the book teaches you, then you never have to go and ask somebody permission to use money that you could technically have access to without that permission. The book talks about high cash value life insurance as that tool to use, which we just referenced as our tool that we use for our wealth reservoir. We use this tool all over the place in our wealth planning system. And I think this book has some great analogies to read. Now, one of the stories I remember hearing about this book, or when I was reading this book, is basically saying, you’ve got, let’s say you use a high cash value life insurance policy, you start sending out premiums, you’ve got that high cash value, the cash value that’s attached to it, that you say, I now have this as my opportunity fund and I can leverage against that to go and make a purchase or pay a bill or, you invest in, say, real estate, which we’ve talked about many times here on the show. And I think the lessons he, I think most people remember from the book is to say like, okay, you can do that, but don’t forget that you’ve set up a business. You your business is like a store. It’s like the IGA down the street. And it’s like, it’s got things on the shelves. And it’s like, when you take the peas off the shelf, that’s like you borrowing money from your business. and you’re going to then use those peas or eat those peas. And the lesson is don’t forget to pay the peas back, like put the peas back, which is important. Like if you have this tool, a high cash value life insurance to leverage that tool and use the leverage to go and purchase real estate, you have to have a plan to pay back the fund so that you can do it again and again and again. And this is where the infinite banking idea comes from is that you have an infinite source of wealth if you continually pay the premiums and you continually replenish your funds so that you can continually make two uses of the same dollar. And I think that makes sense. However, I think where a lot of people read this book is that they read this and say, I have to follow this exact plan, which means I have to take my peas from my store and then I’m gonna make sure I pay those peas back. I think the big idea here, we wanna kind of make sure that we call out. is that sometimes you don’t have to take your P’s. Sometimes you could use the P’s down the street because the P’s down the street may be cheaper. But you get to use your P’s as collateral to get the P’s down the street, which means maybe taking a policy loan from the now co-owned insurance company that now your policy lies at may not be the best option for you at that time. Maybe getting a third party lender. could be an option for you in your business or your personal side because it makes sense mathematically. And I think sometimes when we read books like Becoming Your Own Banker, we get so ingrained in like the lessons they really want to teach when sometimes it doesn’t make sense. So while it’s important to have a plan to pay back the P’s, you need to realize that don’t get sucked into just, that’s the way we have to do it. always have like, you got your strong convictions, but like loosely hold them. Like think about, what does it make sense? The peas down the street might be, I can lend money or I can borrow money down the street cheaper to actually accomplish the same goals I have and have a plan to pay back because I have collateral sitting over here in this jar. And so we wanna be, I guess the idea here is that the book is so important to read to allow you to have the freedom and really maximize the use of your wealth reservoir. but you also just want to be critical and have plans around how to reach your goals. And I think that’s the big lesson I think I want to kind of pull here from this book.
Kyle Pearce: Yeah, you brought up quite a few things. I think I think one thing that is really easy to maybe I don’t want to say miss because it’s not missing. It’s almost like over. It’s almost like you dig in a little bit too much where sometimes people will read that book. And then they sort of think like every dollar of member, the extra extra money, the money that we’re going to invest needs to be in a policy as if the policy itself is going to like be the thing to create wealth. And reality, like that’s not really what it’s gonna do because that would be, again, rates of return are gonna be pretty similar to like a GIC, right? In terms of the cash value. So I mean, unless that’s the type of investor you are, that could definitely work, right? If you’re super conservative and you don’t like risk at all, then sure, like pretty much zero risk, no volatility, access to cash, all of those things. But we have to just… always take things with a grain of salt and say, you for us, it’s the optionality that we really appreciate it. And I wish when I go back, it was probably 15 years ago when I first stumbled across this idea of the infinite banking, you know, concept. And I read that book and I did a lot of research, I ran numbers. I didn’t really do anything because I was sort of like, not exactly sure. Like I was under the impression that I should be funneling like all of my additional capital towards a policy. And I think that’s what actually held me back. Had I understood at that time that the money that I was sort of keeping to the side for my wealth reservoir, we didn’t call it that back at that time, but if I was funneling those dollars in, I would be in a much better position had I done that back then, right? Because those dollars weren’t really accomplishing a whole lot. They were keeping me safe. They were allowing me to continue investing where I wanted to, but I wanted to keep a certain amount of liquidity. And I could have accomplished that thing with that particular tool. So that’s to me is not made clear in that book and in many other books like it. It almost gives you, they don’t explicitly say take every dollar and do that. But I think that’s the message that a lot of people get when they walk away from it. Now, only when you and I started running into our retained earnings issue, did I circle back to this idea because then when I recognize that death benefit, pays out the net death benefit will pay out of a corporation through the capital dividend account without any tax. That’s when like the alarm bells really went off for me. And then I dug back in and I did way more research and then I recognize that, my gosh, this thing like is now a no brainer because we’re incorporated because we have retained earnings. This is something that I could do to accomplish all of those things. We still use similar rules of thumb. that money that we want to have available in liquid, we want to flow through a policy. The only difference is now it’s inside of a corporation. Had we not gone down that path, I may never have revisited this strategy at all. However, I now recognize that I could have used it first for my emergency fund and then for my opportunity fund and then. One thing that we’re seeing a lot of individuals and business owners really like gravitating towards is then thinking about when I figure out what is my income, my fixed income to equity ratio. Oftentimes they usually put equity first. So the equity to fixed income ratio. So if you’re like a 60%, 40 % investor, if that’s who you are, that 40 % is a fantastic spot for it to go is into what we’d call our wealth reservoir tool, the high early cash value permanent policy, because it has the liquidity, it has zero volatility, which is massively helpful. And we’re able to essentially achieve similar rates of return to what I would have been doing anyway with a 60 40 without any sort of drawdown risk for that portion of the portfolio. Now, The same is true whether you’re like a 70-30 investor, a 80-20 investor. So our stance is like when I start zooming out and I think about it, when we go to like Ramit’s book, we think about I will teach you to be rich. The assumption people get is like 100 % equities, but then nobody talks about the extra money, not the extra extra that we’re willing to invest, but the bucket that we’re not willing to invest or willing to lock in for 20 years. When we think about becoming your own banker, everyone thinks it’s a hundred percent fixed income and then that’s going to make you rich or that I can leverage that and do something else with it. These things are extremes. And what we’re saying is like, imagine if you figure out, and this is what we help our clients to do is we try to help you figure out where do you fit? we had a client, I was on the call yesterday, a million dollars of retained earnings inside the corporation and they have basically $900,000 of it in cash, like sitting in cash in a high interest savings account. Sure, they’re earning a little bit of interest. They’re losing 50 % to passive income tax. And over time, they’ll actually grind away their active income small business tax credit. Like these are challenges. And when we look at that and we go, listen, first of all, I don’t think you should only be 10 % exposed to the market. We got to get that number up. That’s going to take time and confidence. But for that other chunk, Whether it’s a 50-50 mix or a 60-40 or whatever they land on, we have an opportunity, a fantastic opportunity in order to make sure that we can get similar returns, similar outcomes based on the spreadsheet with limiting risk on one side of the portfolio while also keeping 100%, not quite 100%, 90 % liquidity, but also 100 % liquidity if we do turn to third-party lenders. If we go down the street, and we borrow the peas from somewhere else, we have access to more of that cash value and that liquidity. So for me today, two big takeaways is like, know, reading and reading and getting these different perspectives is huge, but always remembering after we need to zoom out and we need to make sure, first of all, sometimes the author doesn’t intend for us to take what we took away from it, right? So like sometimes they didn’t mean for you to think that like, Every dollar’s gotta go into an equity index fund, but that might be what was interpreted, right? So we have to zoom out and we have to look in and go, okay, how does this fit for me? Where do my dollars lie in front of me? And is there a way for me to be able to optimize while also creating a little bit of extra safety for myself so that I can still accomplish a very similar goal or maybe even the exact same goal, maybe even a little bit sooner. to me, think is the big takeaway here, the secret sauce for today’s episode.
Jon Orr: Yeah, good summary. Yeah, good summary there.
