I recently wrote a book on Business Succession Planning. I wrote it for all business leaders, including chapters are specifically written for family business leaders.
We all die. The goal isn’t to live forever, the goal is to create something that will. –Chuck Palahniuk
This quote is perfect for family business leaders, isn’t it? It’s a reminder that no one among us is going to live forever, and perhaps, living and ruling forever should not be our goal. Instead, creating an enduring legacy- something that continues long after we are gone- is the point.
