Life is like a river with lots of twists and turns.
Sometimes smooth sailing but often turbulent waters to navigate and obstacles to avoid. As you race down your own river of life, the scene around you changes. There is no going back. You can’t control the rapids or stop the river.
As in life and business, keeping calm, looking ahead, paddling and steering will get you where you want to go.
Most important are who else is in your boat and having a trusted, capable guide.
This photo is from a recent rafting trip with my daughter Gloria on the Arkansas River in Colorado. Our raft flipped within first 5 minutes on the water leading to a few very anxious moments. Yet, we survived unharmed, regrouped and enjoyed another 17 miles of river.
Planning a smooth and rewarding business succession and exit strategy requires looking downstream, being clear on your desired destination, and choosing the right long-term strategic partners.
