| Have a Hobby November 22nd, 2017 by Bill Boyajian |
It’s important to have a hobby. Or two. Hobbies feed our creative juices even if we don’t believe we’re particularly creative. We don’t try to make money out of our hobbies, though sometimes we can and they become joyful businesses. And we don’t get famous from our hobbies, although we might gain some local notoriety if we’re really good at it. But we don’t have hobbies to get rich or famous. We have hobbies to give us an outlet or two, and to make us happy. Hobbies give, rather than take. They keep us from being one-dimensional. They broaden our horizons. Hobbies make us whole.
Can we overdue our hobbies? Probably. I guess if we play video games all day, it may be a bit much. But generally, I wouldn’t worry. You probably have some kind of self-limiting time frame or consciousness that keeps you from overdoing it. So the next time you feel obsessed with your hobby, relax. You’re doing what you love to do. You’re exercising your creativity. You’re making yourself into a more joyful person. It doesn’t matter if you’re strumming a guitar, planting a plant, knitting a sweater, cooking a delicacy, or swinging a golf club. What matters is you’re enjoying an extension of yourself. And maybe that’s all that really matters.

“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.”
