What’s Blocking You from Stepping into Your Future? Seminar for Business Owners Presented by IES

DANVERS, Mass. - Oct. 2, 2013 - PRLog -- Innovative Equity Strategies (IES), as part of its ongoing business owner seminar series, presents “What’s Blocking You from Stepping into Your Future?” hosted by Beth Davis, principal of Learnings for Leaders, who works with individuals and groups to help them enhance their effectiveness in the areas of leadership, professional growth, business success and transition, personal mastery, and life design. This event will take place on October 24, 2013, from 8:00 am – 10:00 am at Vesey & Weeks, 185 Centre Street, Danvers, MA.

“We are excited to be working with Beth for this exciting event that will be of interest to all business owners, regardless of their business size,” said IES co-founder Steve Vesey. “Thinking about exit planning can often be a difficult process for business owners because they are so invested in their businesses, both emotionally and financially. This event can help owners begin to think about the future of their businesses in short term and long term,” added Jane Johnson, IES co-founder.

Many owners have created a strong identity with their businesses and either freeze at the idea of exit planning or avoid it by pushing it out beyond that five-year horizon. We call it “Owner’s Block,” and it’s understandable -- after all, thinking about leaving your business may be confusing, depressing, or just scary. But it doesn’t have to be.

This seminar will help you move your thinking into action by exploring the following:

·         What, me retire?

·         The nature of transitions

·         Transition facts

·         Personal vs. Business Transition

·         Unsuccessful and successful ways to leave your company

·         Steps in planning strategically

·         Activities involved in the transition process

·         Assessing transition readiness

·         Consider your next steps

·         It takes a team
