| Seven Lessons I’ve Learned from People I Admire November 19th, 2019 by Bill Boyajian |
We’re always learning – or at least we should be. Look around. There is something to learn from everyone who crosses your path. Here are seven things I’ve learned from people I admire:
2. Sense a need and fill it. Anticipate where things are going and strive to be there when the time is right. 3. Operate with controlled impatience. Impatience is a good thing if you have control of it as opposed to letting it control you. 4. Buck a system that is wrong and fight for what is right. Just because you can’t do everything doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to do something. 5. Pursue excellence, not perfection. No one can afford perfection, but everyone can strive for excellence. 6. Don’t judge others. You don’t know what they’re going through. Give them the benefit of the doubt. 7. Help people see their blind spots. We all have them. Even you. Help people find them and learn from them.

1. Stay the course and be humble through it all. Dedication and persistence aren’t the only things you should focus on, but they provide a very good start.- Home

“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.”
