Evolution: Sustaining Multi-Gen Businesses
One of the things that struck me this particular night was how the business has evolved over the years.

The Snider Family Band
I think it’s important that we remain connected to history; our roots and where we have come from. I believe it gives us better perspective of where we are now and how blessed we are that that generation, the Greatest Generation, made the sacrifices they made to pave the way for the blessing we have today in this great country.

The Cost of Not Having a Master or Exit Plan
Written by Peter G. Christman, CEPA, Co-Founder, Exit Planning Institute Not too long ago, a CEPA emailed me and asked, “what is the cost of not having an exit plan or master plan?” I thought that was a great “ask” because I have never seen that question quantified. I wrote and told him I needed to think over that question. This is an attempt to provide that CEPA with some kind of intelligent answer. My immediate response to the cost question is a common answer in the business of Master Planning, “it… Read More
