My business can't run without me. Do you ever find yourself thinking or saying that? We know we have.
You have worked to build a business that you either started or took over from a previous generation. You have done a pretty good job, and there is a great deal of satisfaction in it - maybe even some pride in knowing that you are important to the well-being of your family. You like the feeling of value at being indispensable.
That's too bad.
If your business can't run without you, then you - and your family - are missing out. It can be hard to not to choose staying late at the office over a soccer game or recitals if there is a fire to put out or a looming deadline.
Vacations? If you are taking them, and your business can't run without you, your body is there, but your brain is not fully present. How often do you check with the office, fire up your laptop, or shoot a text while you are at the beach with your spouse and children?
And if your business can't run without you, what happens if you can't run it because you aren't coming into the office - ever? If your disability or death means you are no longer there to run it, then you - or your family - will realize you didn't own a business; you just had a job where your employer was you.
You can change that. We can help you.
