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. Think about how things might be different if that generation had not done what they did. I wonder sometimes if our present generations would be willing to make the same sacrifices given similar circumstances. Let’s hope we are never again tested that way.

Most business owners are very good at contingency planning. They plan for every possibility imaginable, but surprisingly few business owners plan for the one thing that is certain: their eventual death or disability.

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.
