Financial worries can wreak havoc for entrepreneurs — from business decisions to personal relationships. There are five key strategies to remove the fear and uncertainty, and create a clear and secure direction.   Entrepreneurs are often gifted with courage and a can-do attitude, but those same qualities can cause dangerous blind spots around finances that take a toll of their fortunes and family. And normalizing financial stress is an all-too-common entrepreneurial mistake.   Instead of trying to handle finances — or just ignore them until they can’t be ignored anymore — entrepreneurs need to create a solid, structured plan for dealing with financial concerns.  It should be focused on the following areas:

1. Don’t put finances on the back burner

2. Find a trustworth adviser to guide your tax & financial strategy

3. Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security

4. Embrace and practice transparency

5. Create a strong structure and a clear process
