| News! News! News! November 12th, 2023 by Bill Boyajian |
 I watch just enough news to know what’s going on in the world, but not enough to allow it to depress me. We can get so wrapped up in the negativity of what we see and hear that we lose the optimism that business people must have in the marketplace. Business owners exist to create a better life for themselves, their families, and their employees. News media exists to tell us what’s going on in the world and in our communities, but bad things are often sensationalized without giving just cause to the good that is done all around us. Local news tends to be more positive than national news, but it can still get us down. I don’t think business people should put their heads in the sand to make bad things go away. Nor do I think we should fear the challenges that exist all around us. But if you own or manage a business and a staff of people, you have to stay positive and optimistic so you can weather any storms that come your way. News should be given the respect it deserves without getting in the way of planned and measured forward movement. Anything more than that is a downer, and must be avoided by business people who want to be successful. Seeing the glass half full is the best way to compete in the marketplace, so measure your news intake with that in mind.

“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.”
