| Practicing Self-Awareness September 5th, 2014 by Bill Boyajian |
One of the beautiful things in life is our ability, as human beings, to be intimately aware of our own existence. We have the capacity to reflect on our lives and to be self-aware. And this gives us the ability to see ourselves as we really are, but only if we take the time to consider it.
We have the cognitive skills to think, to plan, to reflect, to choose. We can choose to be happy or choose to be sad. We can choose to be kind or choose to be mean. We can choose to be grateful or choose to be ungrateful. Often, we don’t choose because we simply react. Yet we have the capacity to do, and to be, so much more. We need to know who we are, where we’re going, and how we’re going to get there. Sadly, many of us never take the time to reflect on these thoughts. When we can’t (or don’t) define ourselves, we run the risk allowing other people or our circumstances to define us. That’s a situation I would never want to happen to me, and I doubt you would want it either. So after reading this, consider practicing self-awareness every day. It will make a difference in how you think, how you treat others, and how you deal with the circumstances in business and in life.

“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.”
