Introduction: Why I am Here and What You Can Expect

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I am grateful for your interest in business succession and hope you will find my insights valuable. Your support means the world to me, and I am committed to providing you with the best strategies and information to help you secure the future of your business.

The goal is to provide information about the following topics, to the target audience.  

The main reason I have created my website, course and You Tube pages is that I owned a business for 31 years.  I sold it to 3 employees.  We had a very successful business succession plan and I want to share that experience with other business owners.  When I started working on my succession plan, I did not have any resources for guidance, I figured it out myself.  I would like to spare you that pain !
