The Legacy Link: How to Build a Bulletproof Business That Outlasts You (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798998878725)

A practical guide to creating systems, planning your exit, and building a trades business that lives on, even after you step away.

Growing up, Tess Helmandollar had a front-row seat as her father, Link, put grit, long days, and unwavering dedication into his thriving HVAC and home repair business. Inspired by Link's success, she followed in his footsteps to become a successful entrepreneur in her own right. But Link's biggest lesson of all was still to come.

Despite a full pipeline of work and decades of loyal clients, when Link's health declined and he could no longer work, there was no plan in place to sell, transition, or sustain his company without him. That experience sparked a fire in Tess, a drive to help other business owners avoid the same fate.

Backed by research and decades of real-world experience, The Legacy Link offers a practical, step-by-step framework for trades entrepreneurs and small-business owners who are ready to...
