Successful leaders can tarnish their legacies by attempting to do as much productive work at age 70 as they did at age 50. Decline is inevitable, and also happens much earlier than most of us expect. What should you, as the family business leader, do to ensure that your transition does not harm your legacy or give you a feeling of irrelevance?
Watch our blog this week as Wayne presents you with five tips on how to make the transition easier for you, your family, and your business. We look forward to hearing what steps are you taking to manage and enjoy retirement when it comes.

Wayne…
Thank you for addressing the elephant in the room.
I listen to all your blogs but found this one particular relevant (and tough at the same time).

Hey Wayne,
Man did you just hit the nail on the head! I just said to my wife last night that I feel as though I am beginning to feel irrelevant.
I will be working on my Bucket List this weekend and start the knowledge transfer asap.
I really enjoy the blog, keep it going.
Thanks,
Jeff
Wayne Rivers says:
Great, Jeff! I’m glad you and your Mrs. are working on your Bucket List, and I’m delighted you enjoy our blogs!

Thanks, Rudy. I got an email from a 65 year old who also found it “tough” and, at the same time, thanked me for the blunt message. I’m trying to soften my rough edges; I guess I still have work to do!
