Thought for the day

A group of high net-worth individuals that was recently asked how much wealth would it take to trigger true contentment said it would take two or three times their current net worth. Michael Norton and Elizabeth Dunn, who penned Happy Money, said it’s not the next level of wealth that brings joy. Instead, the authors recommend buying experiences that strengthen connections with loved ones and friends rather than acquiring more material goods. “Don’t turn luxuries into necessities. Delay gratification. Share your good fortune.” –Leaders & Success, Investors Business Daily, Oct. 2014.

Succession & Transition Strategies

Creating a successful succession plan is about protecting the future of a business and/or brand and ensuring there is a strategy in place to ensure your business continues to thrive.

After years of investing time, money and other resources, it’s imperative to prepare for this next stage in business and life. Poor planning can increase risks for stakeholders and tarnish legacies. Let’s make sure the next generation is well-equipped and ready to take your life’s work and family legacy to an even greater level of success.

Each situation is unique because the needs of each one involved are unique. We carefully review each opportunity to determine how best to structure a transition while meeting your goals, complying with any brand licensing polices and minimizing the tax implications of the transfer.
