| Cleaning House December 21st, 2018 by Bill Boyajian |
We’ve been redoing the floors upstairs in our home so it means taking everything out of every room and moving it, only to have to move it all back in after the work is done. It’s a pain, but it has to be done. What’s more alarming is the stuff in our closets that has accumulated over the years. It’s a bit scary. We’ve also been going through the garage with a merciless purge of items that we have never used, yet have somehow kept for unknown reasons. We aren’t packrats, but it would be hard to argue us out of it if you were helping us clean up. During this process of clearing out stuff that gets accumulated, it made me think of the clutter inside our businesses and even our lives. Our heads get so full of thoughts, opinions, and garbage that we have to do some mental gymnastics just to bring in new thoughts and ideas. Our minds get so entrenched with our past experiences that we can hardly fill them with anything new unless we purge those thoughts to allow new thinking to emerge. Maybe it’s time to reflect on what needs to be cleared out – physically and mentally. Otherwise we’ll just hang on to valueless items far too long. Worse yet, we’ll hold on to outdated and irrelevant beliefs and opinions that keep us from thinking and learning anew. Is it time for cleaning house?

"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.”
