Make Lists
December 19th, 2019
by Bill Boyajian

I love making lists.  I make a new list every day.  It seems to bring order and priority to my day.  I write down what I have to do.  Some people tackle the most important thing first.  I don’t.  I do the easiest thing first.  Doing the easiest thing first gets me going each day because it’s easy and helps me build momentum for everything else.

Momentum is what gets you going and keeps you going when you need to get things done.  Like in sports, when you lose momentum it’s almost impossible to get it back because you’ve lost the incredible roll you were on.  You get stuck and getting unstuck is like pulling teeth.  That’s why you need a list to keep you focused and to get back to urgent and important things that need to be done.  If you do lose momentum, just tackle another easy thing on your list and you’ll get your mojo back.

So, make a new list every day.  Include things you didn’t get done from the day before if they’re still important.  Exclude things you no longer want or need to do.  Repeat this daily and let me know how you do.

“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.”
