When it helps
Why talk to someone about your own plans?
Three moments when owners often start thinking about what comes next for them.
-
Personal plans
After years focused on the business.
The business has had first call on your time for a long while. It can be a good moment to set out what you want for yourself and your family.
-
A change ahead
Stepping back, or changing your role.
Handing over the day-to-day, working fewer hours or bringing in a successor changes more than the business. It can help to think through what it means for you personally before it happens.
-
A business sale
During or after a sale.
Whether the sale has completed or is still going through, a lot may be changing at once. It can help to step back and consider your own priorities and what you want next.
