| What If You Work For An Entrepreneur? February 24th, 2014 by Bill Boyajian |
Entrepreneurs can change their mind about things very quickly, and without any warning. You need patience and resilience when working for most true entrepreneurs. If you work for one, you are probably invigorated by their energy, ideas, and intelligence. You need to remind yourself about that excitement when working for such a person, especially when the going gets tough. And it will. Judge their moods carefully, and pick your shots.
Entrepreneurs like their own original ideas, so try to make your thoughts and ideas become their thoughts and ideas. Use wisdom to know how hard to push at times, and get out of the way if the boss is steam-rolling ahead. Learn to go with the flow, and, again, have the patience of Job. A great entrepreneur can be a wonderful leader, one who can teach you many things about innovation, implementation, and execution. Treat every situation as a new learning experience, and fill your role as a great support person.

“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.”
