Family Business Retirement: “I am Only Leaving Feet First”

July 16, 2020

 

In This Episode:

 “I am only leaving feet first”

 

In today’s episode, Kathy and I talk about retiring as the leader of a family business. Many family business leaders consciously or unconsciously decide they are going to retire “feet first.”

 

We discuss the many problems this creates AND several solutions. 

 

Solutions include: 

  • Development a succession and estate plan
  • Answer this question: “What could I do next?”
  • Set the Rising Generation up for Success
  • Communication and Conversation
  • Role of a Professional 
  • Many more…..

 

Questions I ask Kathy: 

  • Let’s talk about this expression- What does it mean? 
  • What does it look like in a family business context? (what is the problem?) 
  • Why is this a problem? 
  • What, from your experience, is the solution? 
  • Why is this the solution? 
  • How can we find you? 

 

In this episode: 

“I’m too busy to think about retirement!”

We discuss the many problems not talking or planning for your retirement creates AND Kathy highlights several solutions. 

Including: 

    • Development a succession and estate plan
    • Answer this question: “What could I do next?”
