Being rich vs being wealthy starts first with mindset, perspective, and vision.  Most small business owners are too busy keeping the company going and growing in customers and revenue to ponder this.  In fact, most small business owners are focused on building their customer base and creating a healthy, if not impressive, cash flow.  Putting these scores on the board is impressive, especially in a competitive market.   But it can also distract us from the more strategic work of building business wealth.
