Will You Work Forever? Exit, Succession & Retirement

Class in Session

Plan for Succession Even if You Plan to Work Forever

You may be one of those business owners too busy being successful to think about succession planning. Nonetheless, it is folly not to plan for your succession, and your strategy should follow the old adage of “hope for the best and plan for the worst.”

Assuming the worst—that you would unexpectedly leave the business tomorrow—do you have plans for a transition in management? What happens to your ownership interest? And how do you use your stake to provide for a spouse and family?

Key questions are whether you want the business to continue with family members in charge or if you want to sell your interest to provide for a spouse or other family members. Identify your goals and establish a succession and exit strategy with the goal of retirement.

Legacy Wealth: What is it and How to Built it?

In this week's episode, our guest, Eric Bell, strategic advisor of African Wealth Management, LLC, discusses the importance of legacy wealth. Why is generational wealth important? Wealth gives you more options in life.

Generational wealth is important because you have more freedom to think and live the life you want when you don’t have to worry about paying your bills or whether you can afford to quit a job that doesn’t fulfill you. Why, then, should you be concerned with passing on wealth to the following generation?

Many people have had the experience of feeling compelled to do something or work a job in order to make money. Of course, building generational wealth does not mean you stop your kids from ever experiencing hardships in life. But many parents want to give their children more options in life.
