| How Reliable Are You? September 16th, 2019 by Bill Boyajian |
The key to any successful company is the reliability of its people. In fact, it’s the only sustainable competitive advantage you have. Reliable people take responsibility for things that need to be done and just do them. In the process, they gain the attention of management and win the respect of their associates.
Reliable people receive the best opportunities in the workplace, are granted more autonomy, and forge deeper relationships with their colleagues. They operate freely and consistently, and keep their commitments by doing what they say they’re going to do. Reliable people view those commitments as personal promises they refuse to break. They unconsciously ask themselves if they are focusing on what is most urgent and important. If not, they refocus their attention on what is. With these thoughts in mind, ask yourself if you are reliable. Don’t use this to point a finger at someone else. Look in the mirror and see if there isn’t something here to improve. After all, the only person you can control is you, so be the most reliable person you can be.

“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.”
