About The Book

ISBN: 1999546008

A book for owners and successors alike, Secrets To Succession is your ultimate guide to navigating the business succession process. From the unique perspective of the successor, I share my experience from beginning to end to shed light on a topic that is often uncomfortable to discuss.

In twelve tight chapters, I layout the entire business transition plan, how to hire the perfect transition team, and prime the business and successor for the change:

1. The Challenges of Succession
2. Priming the Family Business Owner
3. Priming the Successor
4. Priming the Business
5. Developing the Transition Plan
6. The Transition Team
7. The Shareholders Agreement
8. Making the Deal
9. Supporting the Successor
10. Letting Go
11. Managing Conflict
12. Enjoy the Journey

The book is not just for business owners! If you’re an entrepreneur, business successor, or believe in continuing your family’s legacy, it’s time to prepare for your future.

Praise For The Book

Not really a “how to” book, more a book about actually get it done, and thriving.

We have a business with my brother-in-law and wife as partners called “Hands on Herbs”. We aren’t any way close to passing this on to our kids as its still in start up mode, but I found the book helpful for a number of reasons. The bit about how important communications is, and keeping the channels open seems critical, especially when there is family involved. Also the team work with Lawyers and Accountants is very useful for us. We have a good accountant but getting the right fit for lawyers has been an expensive challenge. I’m hoping the chapters on Developing the Transition Plan is in our future. Only time will tell. This is a straight talking book by a family who have gone through the process and are still growing. – Amazon Review

If you own a family business, you need to read this book.

This book is full of pleasant surprises, and a big eye-opener. The book takes you through the entire journey of family succession from the successor’s point fo view. Gerard tells his story about being groomed to take over the family business by his dad from a very young age, bringing a fresh perspective on many sensitive points of generational family business succession. His PIE method is a simple guide that brings awareness to the importance of such an overlooked topic and the best practices to follow. Highly recommended, fun, easy, extremely informative book. Two Thumbs Up! – Amazon Review

Wish I read this book years ago

For anyone looking to transition their family business and doesn’t know where to start, read this book. For the past few years my family has been trying to transition their business to my brother and I and there have been many complications. In the end we’ve reached the correct path and are still working at it but I wish we read this book years ago. It has a bunch of useful information that we haven’t thought of and could’ve saved a tremendous amount of time on. – Amazon Review

An absolute essential book for anyone in business

An absolutely essential book for anyone in business, entrepreneurship, management, or looking to take over their family business. I bought this book to learn more about taking over my family business and it taught me so many lessons that would’ve taken me years to experience.The book goes into incredible detail about every step of the transition and addresses points that many other business transition books don’t.

Examples on how to maintain family ties, manage relationships, and communicate effectively are all addressed in an easy to digest writing style.

Absolutely love this book and recommend it to everyone! – Amazon Review
