| Legacy July 23rd, 2023 by Bill Boyajian |
 Great leadership brings a strong legacy. We earn it by captivating the minds and hearts of people we work with to achieve a vision for the future. People want to work for owners who are going somewhere and who know how to knit the collective wisdom of their staff toward a higher purpose beyond what they could imagine or achieve on their own. When work or volunteerism goes beyond the ordinary and becomes a mission in life, you are moving toward a legacy. A legacy is what is left behind when you are gone, and it comes from a place deep within. If you want to leave a legacy, set your mind on a higher purpose, be ambitious for the right reasons, and pour your heart and life into people. Great leaders attribute success to those around them, take responsibility for what goes wrong, balance personal humility with professional will, and never limit their potential. In an incredibly counterintuitive way, you’ll leave a legacy – a personal mark, not just a name – by serving people and a great cause, without regard to your role in the process. After all, the best way to live your life is to invest it in something that will outlast it. The key to leading and to leaving a legacy is not how you start – important as that is – but how you finish. So finish strong!

“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.”
