Reaching 60?
It’s Time to Prepare Your Business That Run Without You
And Protect Everything You've Built
Reaching 60? Your Legacy Starts With A Business That Can Run Without You. Don't Wait Until You're Ready to Leave to Build Value.
You Have Questions. We Have Answers.
Transitioning away from the day-to-day operations of your business is a process, not an event.
At this session, we’re diving deep into the questions keeping you up at night:
How do I decide which responsibilities others can actually take on?
Why am I struggling to find the right people to lead my work?
I’m not leaving for 10–15 years—is there really a benefit to starting now?
- Can I actually sell my business in the future, and how do I know if it has value to anyone else?
Am I truly protected — or am I just assuming I am?

Why Most Business Owners Wait (And You shouldn't)
Many owners put off this work because it doesn't feel "urgent." But if your business is "Rocking It" now, that is the exact time to build permanent value. We’ll show you how to start even if:
You're too busy: You have a full business; we’ll show you how to integrate value-building to increase operational flexibility.
You aren't ready to sell: Preparing to exit isn't just about selling—it's about creating freedom today.
You don't know the process: We break down exactly where to start so you aren't overwhelmed.
- You think your liabilities are covered: Most business owners are shocked to discover the gaps that could leave them - and their legacy - exposed.

Meet Our Guest Speaker
Larry Hoover, P&C Insurance Advisor
Revealing insurance issues a business owner might be exposed to that can destroy your business and your legacy.
You have worked hard to build your business. But are you sure it's truly protected? Not just from business risks, but from the personal factors that can quietly threaten your legacy too?
Larry Hoover is a P&C Insurance Advisor and creator of the Policy Review process — a unique service that goes far beyond just getting a quote. With over 25 years of corporate sales and marketing experience, Larry has helped Financial Advisors, Realtors, and business owners ensure their clients are properly protected, not missing discounts, and paying a fair premium.
As you prepare your business to run without you, Larry will share why protecting your personal and business future is a critical piece of the transition puzzle — and what most business owners don't know about the gaps in their coverage.
"Insurance Issues That Can Destroy Your Business and Your Legacy"
Larry reveals the insurance issues business owners are often exposed to, while assuming they are fully protected.
- Is your business description accurate on paper, the way your insurer sees it?
- Could a personal insurance gap quietly disrupt your business on your legacy?
- What is a Policy Audit, and why should every business owner have one?
(Why invite an insurance person to a succession talk? "Because I have friends, like Larry, that are focused on seeing small business owners succeed and we, as small business owners, often forget to look at how our business and successors are covered. You will love what Larry has to share." Barb)
