Reseach clearly shows the air in our homes is filled with a variety of contaminants that can create health complications.

Description

Working “on” rather than “in” your business can prevent you from setting goals, finding solutions, and seeing the big picture. In other words, if you’re too deep in the weeds you won’t have time to do the “real” work of growing a business. Delegating tasks to skilled people, especially to people more skilled than you at completing those tasks, frees up time to plan, strategize, and build a great business. Our class is designed to help you redirect, rethink and focus on items that can help you build a “valuable business”.

Description

The truth is that everyone exits their business at some point, whether by choice or through circumstance. Alarmingly, it's estimated that 55% of business exits are unplanned in timing due to extenuating circumstances. The question is not if we will exit; rather, the questions are when, how, and whether our exit will achieve the objectives -we desire. The concept of legacy as a business planning tool is a timeless principle that if planned and executed well can result in a successful leadership transition that preserves the integrity of one's business into the future and ultimately their legacy. The course presents three overarching methods to consider when approaching exit planning (Le.family succession, internal sales or transfers, and third-party sales) and identifies resources available to facilitate each.

Description

The truth is that everyone exits their business at some point, whether by choice or through circumstance. Alarmingly, it's estimated that 55% of business exits are unplanned in timing due to extenuating circumstances. The question is not if we will exit; rather, the questions are when, how, and whether our exit will achieve the objectives -we desire. The concept of legacy as a business planning tool is a timeless principle that if planned and executed well can result in a successful leadership transition that preserves the integrity of one's business into the future and ultimately their legacy. The course presents three overarching methods to consider when approaching exit planning (Le.family succession, internal sales or transfers, and third-party sales) and identifies resources available to facilitate each.
