| Don’t Let Life Pass You By April 27th, 2017 by Bill Boyajian |
Too often we major on minors. We bury our heads in our smart phones and miss a beautiful sunset. We overeat (or drink….) at a party, and miss a quality conversation with an interesting person. We exercise on a machine indoors and never jog on a trail to observe nature’s wonders. We multi-task while watching a game and miss the live action because we know we can rewind the play. We snap at a family member or associate and fail to be gracious. And we do all these things because we’re preoccupied with ourselves or what we’re doing instead of looking at life through a wider angle lens. With all the focus on having an “experience” today, you would think we would slow down to enjoy some of life’s little pleasures instead of running around without any thought of what we’re missing. Life is not a straightaway that you drive down aimlessly. It’s more like a windy road where you slow down for the curves, not knowing what will be around the bend. So the next time you get in too much of a hurry, stop to listen carefully to the person with an idea to share. Take the ocean route or the mountain road instead of the freeway. Pull over to read the historic sign or view the scenic vista. Notice the flight of the flock in the distance and how perfectly they coordinate their turns and synchronization. And then you’ll be enjoying life and not letting it pass you by.

“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.”
