A Blog Post to Share

Inc. magazine today published a post by Corey Rosen, A Belated Graduation Speech to Baby Boomer Business Owners. It starts:

Graduation speeches have come and gone again, urging young grads to go out and pursue their dreams. Well, you did that. You built a successful company that has created financial security for your family, jobs for employees, taxes for your community, and useful products and services for your customers.

But now you are thinking about graduating too. It's time to start scaling back your involvement in the business and getting some liquidity for all that equity you have built up in the company.

Consider sharing this post with business owners you know. Inc.'s site makes it easy to promote via social media, or you can just forward this paragraph. ESOPs everywhere benefit when more business owners hear the message of Corey's blog post: "there are few better ways to preserve your legacy—and keep an active role in it if you like—than an ESOP."
