New Year Thoughts
December 28th, 2017
by Bill Boyajian

2017 is now part of history and as we start the new year, here are some things to consider in 2018:

  • Instead of focusing on what you don’t have, revel in gratefulness for what you do have.
  • Instead of making a list of resolutions that you won’t keep, ask yourself what one thing you could do this year that would improve your life significantly.  Then do it.
  • Instead of getting caught up in the latest new fad, try light but regular exercise as a part of your daily routine.
  • Instead of being electronically connected 24/7, put your digital device away for hours at a time.  The messages will still be there when you return.
  • Instead of burning the midnight oil, get more rest in 2018.  Sleep is the most under-rated tool to equip your body and mind for each day.
  • Instead of tackling more than you can reasonably achieve, decrease your stress level through a more focused effort on what is really important.
  • Instead of eating food in an out-of-control manner, develop a common sense diet that provides structured nutrition and ultimately makes you feel and look much better.
  • Instead of never having enough time to be really good at what you do, build some margin in your life so you can improve the quality of your life.
  • Instead of never taking time for yourself and your personal mindfulness, consider meditation or prayer as way to quiet yourself down and get in touch with your higher calling.

“I needed help orchestrating a succession plan for our business. I had heard that Bill Boyajian specialized in assisting owners to transition their business to the next generation. He knows how to bridge the generation gap and deliver what each needs to hear. I would recommend Bill to any business owner who needs advice on succession planning from a trusted outside professional.”

"Our family needed some guidance on business transition and succession planning. We asked Bill Boyajian to help us because we knew we could trust him to tell us what we needed to hear. Bill became a valuable resource for our company and our entire family. He has the ability to meet each of us where we’re at and it has served us very well."

“We needed a plan to transition our business to a non-family member and we asked Bill Boyajian to help us. His experience in the area has really paid off, but we didn’t expect the added value of putting us together with a financial planner who helped organize our retirement needs. We now have the fundamentals to transition our business successfully, and we have Bill to thank for it.”
