We all get frustrated or angry at times and tend to take it out on those closest to us. It could be family, friends, or co-workers, but regardless, we often dish out negative energy on those we love and care about the most. I’m not a psychiatrist, but I know when my actions and reactions reflect a less than admirable trait in my behavior, and so do you.

Instead of reacting with our “inner child,” a better method might be to slow our emotions down and rise above the need to blow off steam. In fact, our ability to turn a negative into a positive is always available to us, if we only engage that behavior with a more mature level of thinking.

I’m not saying that I’ll never get mad when I hit a golf ball out of bounds, or when my computer decides to crash, or when my next airline flight is delayed for two hours, but I can certainly step back and put these normal life events into better perspective. Doing so will make me a better person to those closest to me, or to anyone I touch during the day.

“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.”
