For a successful family business transition, you must first visualize what your life will look like after you hand off the company. Imagine, it’s the first Monday of your new life. What are you doing? Who are you with? Where are you? What do you look forward to doing?
We believe that envisioning your ideal transition is a four-step process:
- Identifying your values, goals and purpose
- Determining your mission
- Deciding how to fulfill your mission
- Articulating the impact you aim for

We hope you've enjoyed this article. While you're here, we have a small favor to ask...
As we prepare for what promises to be a pivotal year for America, we're asking you to consider becoming a member.
The need for fact-based reporting of issues important to multi generational businesses and protecting a lifetime of savings has never been greater. Now more than ever, multi generational businesses and family businesses are under fire. That's why Family Enterprise USA is passionately working to increase the awareness of issues important to generationally-owned family businesses built on hard work, while continuing to strengthen our presence on Capitol Hill. The issues we fight for or against with Congress in Washington DC include high income tax rates, possible elimination of valuation discounts, increase in capital gains tax, enactment of a wealth tax, and the continued burden of the gift tax, estate tax and generation skipping tax.
