So for many entrepreneurs it feels more natural to focus on what is wrong more often than what it right because what is wrong is what gets attention.  It is why many entrepreneurs and business owners tend to fall into the trap of putting out daily fires in their business and don’t often take the time to really look at all the areas that are going right and that they are strong.  And really and truly, it is going to be focussing on your strengths and the strengths of those around you that will take your business to that next level and my guest today is here to share his expertise on how we can do just that.

Episode Summery

In this episode we will be talking about something that is near and dear to my heart. As most of your know, I mentioned a couple episodes ago my mother had fallen ill and unfortunately passed away. The whole experience as many of you can imagine was very difficult for a number of reasons. But probably the most difficult was just how unprepared me and my family were, especially preparing all the legal stuff. For those of you that may have experienced a terminal illness of a loved one, you know that alone is painful but when you are completely unprepared for how everything is going to be handled during and after, it can be quite unbearable. Well my guests today are 2 of some of the kindest and heart-centered lawyers I know and they happen to be sisters to boot. They took what could have been a tremendously confusing, chaotic and frantic situation and made it as simply and easy as possible. And I have invited them here to today to talk to us about the conversations we need to start having with our loved ones and the planning that needs to be done now, both personally as well as for our business, so that if God forbid you find yourself in a similar situation as I was last year, you will at least have that peace of mind knowing that all the major decisions and planning have already been done so that you can focus on being there for your loved one.
