Imagine spending a week sprawled on the couch watching the Rugby
in HD... while leaving your staff to their own devices. Would your
business keep running? If the thought inspires panic, this
article's for you. (Especially because it features a surprise
cameo from the All Blacks. We pulled a few strings).
We're offering up the secrets (thank you James Kerr for
imparting this knowledge in the excellent book "Legacy".
A must-read for all entrepreneurs and business owners) of building
a business that stands alone; even when you bow-out. Because
eventually, you'll want to. Selling up and sailing into the
sunset is the goal, right?
But unless you have a (smart) business succession plan, the
company's value relies solely on you. (And that's one sail
that will, whether you like it or not, deflate). That's why
creating a robust, self-sustaining business is a must. Starting
with your team.
