The Truest Luxury of All: Owning Your Own Time

What is luxury?  It depends on what is important to you at each stage in life.

When I was young, luxury meant having enough disposable income to acquire nice things and to provide for my family.  As we acquire more “things” that we want (or think we need), such tangible items – which we believe will satisfy our desire for luxury – become less and less important.  As time flies and as the years grow shorter, a new luxury enters the scene: owning our own time and using it the way we please.

Millennials are accused of wanting too much too soon in life, but what they really want is a more balanced life than what their parents had.  After all, they’ve been brought up with the world at their fingertips.  This has shaped their thinking and they want a balanced life even if they can’t achieve it right away.

So what do I want?  I want the luxury of owning my own time and doing what I love to do, in business and in pleasure.  And what do you want?  Would you like to own the luxury of your own time?

“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.”
