The Factors that Shape Your Succession and Exit Transition Plan

Preparing your exit transition plan from your business takes a great deal of forethought, analysis, and often outside expert counsel. Business owners often underestimate the time involved in the succession planning process, and because of that, the intention to ‘retire in a few years’ gets passed by. What’s needed is a clear business exit strategy, with defined goals at specific junctures.  Preparing your business exit transition plan is essentially creating the plan for finalizing your official status with the business, and wrapping up your full involvement in the company. Once you fully commit to this strategy, you will see yourself starting to make different decisions around the company’s operation.  You may start to delegate more of the nuts and bolts of operational aspects to others in the company. You may step back from hand-holding certain clients. You may inspire others to create new products to carry the company forward after you leave the firm. You may start to consider the...

What Your Birth Certificate Says About Your Transition Strategy Plan

In our experience, your age has a big effect on your attitude towards your business and how you feel about one day getting out. Here’s what we have found about transition strategy plan and age: Business owners between 25 and 46 years old Twenty- and thirty-something business owners grew up in an age where job security did not exist. They watched as their parents got downsized or packaged off into early retirement, and that caused a somewhat jaded attitude towards the role of a business in society. Business owners in their 20’s and 30’s generally see their companies as means to an end and most expect to sell in the next five to ten years. Similar to their employed classmates who have a new job every three to five years; business owners in this age group often expect to start a few companies in their lifetime. Business owners between 47 and 65 years old Baby Boomers came of age in a time where the social contract between company and employee was sacrosanct. An employee agreed to be loya...

Safe Co Sleeping with a Co Sleeper Bed

Co sleeping is an ancient practice. Sharing the parent’s bed with an infant was the norm in all societies prior to the 1700s according to a 1995 study published by the Official Journal of the Royal College of Midwives. In many countries and cultures, co-sleeping and using a co sleeper bed is still widely practiced, where the benefit for both babies and mothers can still be seen today. Medical and scientific evidence suggests that co-sleeping (sleeping in close quarters with baby and parent) has many benefits that the Western practice of leaving infants alone in a room of their own does not. In fact, babies who co sleep are often reported to seem happier than babies who don’t. Lactation consultants, doulas, midwives, and safe sleep professionals recommend the babybay co sleeper bed for safe co-sleeping practices. The babybay is an eco-friendly, non toxic baby %LINK% that allows parents and their newborn to sleep side by side at night, but in separate spaces. This is safe co-sleeping at ...

Back to class: What the science says about the best ways to catch Alabama students up

Image
This story was produced by The Hechinger Report as part of a collaboration with The Alabama Education Lab at AL.com and other newsrooms around the country. Read more stories in this series here. Around the country, tens of millions of students may now be months or, in some cases, even a full year behind because they couldn’t attend school in person during the pandemic. In Alabama, thousands of kindergarteners didn’t show up in classrooms last year -- missing a year that many educators say is crucial. Significant setbacks are especially likely for the most vulnerable students — kids with disabilities and those living in poverty, who didn’t have a computer, a reliable internet connection or a workspace to learn at home. Educators will have to do something different for the 2021-22 school year to make up for those losses. Read more Ed Lab: How Alabama community colleges improved the odds for unprepared students. Schools already are spending big chunks of their approximately $190 bi...

CEO Exit Strategy Tips From One Of The Top 40 Under 40

Wind Mobile founder Anthony Lacavera has started 12 businesses, six of which he has exited. His exits have ranged in value from the $6 million he got for one of his recent start-ups to $1.3 billion when he sold Wind Mobile. He did it by following two key ceo exit strategy tips. •           Understand what kind of company you are running Lacavera has owned hyper-growth unicorns and lifestyle businesses and urges entrepreneurs to be clear about their long-term prospects. Lacavera started a business supplying hotels with internet access and understood the company would be a good cash generator, but would never sell for a mint. He ran the business for almost two decades and used the cash it generated to fund various other ventures. Recently, he finally sold the business, which was generating $1.5 million in pre-tax profit, for $8 million—a relatively modest 5 times earnings, which was fine by Lacavera, because it had served its purpose of funding other companies along the way. •          ...

The science of catching up

Image
Tens of millions of students may now be months or, in some cases, even a full year behind because they couldn’t attend school in person during the pandemic. Significant setbacks are especially likely for the most vulnerable students — kids with disabilities and those living in poverty, who didn’t have a computer, a reliable internet connection or a workspace to learn at home. Educators will have to do something different for the 2021-22 school year to make up for those losses. Schools are already spending big chunks of their approximately $190 billion in pandemic relief money on a range of strategies from after-school programs to cutting class size. But research shows that many of these ideas have had a spotty track record in the past and that schools will have to pay close attention to what’s worked—and what hasn’t—to maximize their odds for success with just about any strategy. There’s no silver bullet. And the pandemic’s fits and starts in instruction are unprece...

Quarantined: A new law is disrupting California school reopenings

Image
In summary As classes resume, a new state law governing independent study is worsening staff shortages, threatening school budgets and forcing quarantined students to relive last year’s school shutdowns. Heather Christiansen got an email on Aug. 14 from her son’s school, saying her 10-year-old had been in contact with a classmate who tested positive for COVID-19. As required by California health guidelines, Christiansen’s son Kayden would have to quarantine at home for 10 days.  “It was only the fourth day of school,” she said. “He’s missing out on not only his friends, but he’s stressing out about falling behind.” Kayden’s teacher at Madera Elementary in the Simi Valley Unified School District near Los Angeles provided a packet for him to complete during the 10 days of quarantine. Christiansen said Kayden finished it in three days and has since then spent his time watching TV and playing video games. As California schools reopened amid the spread of...

Bio Jet Fuel Initiative Under Development for Major Airline

The next step in the race to find renewable energy sources to power our global economy is sustainable aviation fuel, and one company has taken a big first leap toward that goal: Northwest Advanced Bio-Fuels, LLC (NWABF). In a recently announced $2 million partnership with a major airline, NWABF is currently working on Phase 1 of a feasibility study to create that bio jet fuel from wood residue deposits and wood slash on forest floors known as woody biomass. Providing Solutions for Air Lines with West Coast Operations With the Phase 1 “Advanced Planning Study” of a bio jet fuel production facility underway, NWABF is already planning for a Phase 2 Front-end Engineering and Design Study that will allow the Project’s world-class Engineering and Construction Partner to design and construct the renewable bio jet fuel facility in Washington State. First deliveries are planned for the end of 2023 for use of the renewable jet fuel in this airline’s operations up and down the West Coast. This s...

Why It's Even More Important to Get Your Flu Shot This Year

Image
Photo: FotoDuets (Shutterstock) Last year’s flu season occurred in the midst of a COVID-19 surge, sparking concerns of a “twindemic,” in which the coronavirus and the flu would be circulating simultaneously. Healthcare resources would be stretched even thinner, and some people might contract both illnesses at the same time. That didn’t happen last year, but it’s a real possibility this year. Remember that last flu season, most of us were still masking up when we went out in public because the vaccine wasn’t yet widely available. The 2020-2021 flu season was an astounding flop—in a good way. Positive flu tests were rare, just 0.2%, compared to typical rates of around 30%. There was only one death of a child from the flu, compared to 37 to 199 in past years. But this year, COVID vaccines have allowed us to return to something closer to normal, even though the pandemic is definitely not over yet. The CDC even warns that with lowered population immunity due to the lack of infections la...

Zeroing in on a handful of strategies to catch kids up in math

Image
Kathy Neumann’s third graders at Longfellow Elementary School in Columbia, Maryland, struggled to understand fractions during this pandemic-disrupted school year. With remote learning, they couldn’t do their usual classroom activity of cutting strips of construction paper into halves, quarters and thirds. “Doing it on a computer screen just is not the same thing,” said Neumann, who is eager to get back to using “old-school materials” — paper, pencils and rulers — when her district returns to in-person learning this fall. “I’ve seen a difference this year without using our hands-on tools. No matter what we put on the computer, no matter how much fun it looks, they’re not getting it.” Still, Neumann believes most students will bounce back, if those who returned to in-person learning in the spring are any indication. “At home, they’re [lying] on the sofa, doing half the work. When they come into my classroom, they’re sitting in front of me. They’re raising their hand...
