“THE POSITIVES OF PASSING IT ON”

If you want to honor the family while building and transitioning your business, you have important decisions to make and actions to take….starting today. In this upbeat, interactive workshop we’ll learn lessons from successful leaders and managers of legacy businesses. It becomes clear they do the work necessary to have a right and experienced leader, create and use specific and realistic management tools, and lay a solid foundation including legal and financial documents to assure peace of mind.

During this session you will:
