I Don’t Have Time….
January 21st, 2024
by Bill Boyajian

Here’s a simple multiple-choice question:

When people say they don’t have time to do something, what do they mean?

a) They really don’t have time to do it.

b) They don’t have the interest to do it.

c) They don’t have the energy to do it.

d) It’s not a priority to them.

e) All of the above.

There’s no one right answer, but my guess is you chose e) All of the above.  You know you’ve said you don’t have time to do something many times, as have I.  But what do we really mean when we say it?

Maybe it’s time to stop making excuses for why we don’t do something so we can understand the real problem.  Maybe it’s time to start making our true needs and interests the priorities for our time.  When this happens, we’ll be focused on what we are enthusiastic about instead of wasting time on unimportant things.

I don’t have time to write any more, but I probably don’t need to.  Let’s make time instead of saying we don’t have the time.

“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.”
