  • The irony of common sense is that it’s not so common.
  • Experience is what we get when we don’t get what we want.
  • A good way to live is to try to leave the world a better place than we found it.
  • Trying to maintain the status quo will cause us to fall behind.
  • Don’t compartmentalize. Life, health, career, spirit, and interests are all intertwined.
  • Genuine appreciation for a job well done is still the most important element of employee satisfaction.
  • The key to finishing big is to start small. Just start.
  • We all need outside counsel because our greatest liability is the one we don’t know about – our blind spot.
  • There is nothing more important in this life than the impact we make on others.
  • If you want real peace, stop believing that everyone should think the way you do.
  • Being small, flexible, and nimble is under-rated, and being big, structured, and systematic is over-rated.
  • Stress is when you are trying to do too much that you care little about, whereas passion is controlled anxiousness that brings deep satisfaction.

“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.”
