Their successes, failures, and \"lessons learned,\" make up the core of this timely book. In 2013, the Fox Business Center reported that the sales of small businesses grew by 49%, and the Baby Boom demographics suggest this figure will only grow larger over the next ten years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMany have heard the story of the entrepreneur who just didn't pay much attention to their transition. Things were going well and there was no urgency to think about what they would do next. Then the \"unexpected event\" happened and they needed to hastily plan in a crisis environment. This kind of planning usually results in the owner losing some of the wealth they have built up in their company, coupled with added personal and family stress. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne of the owners in the book commented that he wanted to control every part of his business as he was building it. And when it came time for his transition away from the company, he also wanted to be equally controlling by investing the personal time and resources to make his transition as smooth as possible. For the majority of owners who tell their stories, the transition took about five years from the time the started seriously thinking about it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book covers stories from a wide range of owners representing many business sectors including service, manufacturing, production and distribution. And the two authors had access to a treasure trove of information which they used to write this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Coleman, James Gambone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1497582016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781497582019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/24\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.22d","brand":"Steve Coleman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124151120127,"sku":"9781497582019","price":20.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e7f6f6ff-f9c2-4d88-a7c0-7edee9a607ab.jpg?v=1687435040","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/find-whats-next-for-you-steve-coleman-9781497582019","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
