How We Use Our Time
March 18th, 2020
by Bill Boyajian

You know the phrase, if I only had more time.  You’ve probably used it at some point in your life.

Weeks ago, I tore my calf muscle in a freak accident on the golf course.  The recovery is slow and it forced me to have a three-month hiatus from golf.  I was bummed initially, but then realized this gave me much more time to do some things I’ve always wanted to do.

The recent Coronavirus pandemic has done something similar to all of us.  In an abundance of caution, like you, I’ve cancelled long-scheduled business and personal travel for the foreseeable future.  This has given me much more time to do some other necessary things, and has opened up time to work via computer and phone to stay connected to clients and friends.

When the sports world abruptly halted in mid-March, I realized just how much time I spend watching sports, which I love, but this, too, has given me more time to focus on other things I’ve always wanted to do but never seemed to have the time to do.

You get my point.  If we really want to have more time in our day, we need to carefully evaluate how we use our 24 hours instead of complaining that we don’t have enough time.  For the vast majority of us, our schedules are normally much too hectic, with little down time to do some special things we’ve always wanted or needed to do.

Now that our schedules have become more relaxed, it opens up time to do some other things.  Maybe we should try evaluating the use of our time a little more often.

“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.”
