Chamber Connections:
Second-Half Business Success: Advice for Business Owners Thinking about Transitioning

Thursday, Jan. 26, 2012
8:30am to 10:30am
Location: Uncommon Ground, 1401 W. Devon

Are you in the second-half of your business?  Are you thinking of selling your business someday down the road or transitioning ownership of your business to your children or other family members?

Sometime during the second half of every business owner’s career, they will transfer ownership of their business either by their own intention, by an opportunity that comes along, or by an untimely surprise. It’s an absolute certainty.

The question then is how do you, a business owner, ensure that this ownership transfer will be a great success?

Workshop Overview from Our Speaker:
We  invite you to join us for a workshop that will give you insight into how to create:

  • Freedom to do the things you love
  • Control over decisions that affect you and your business
  • Wealth you can use to live the life you want

evolve co-founder Bruce Leech will share an engaging overview of the Second-Half Success program designed exclusively for business owners.  You’ll learn how to use the Second-Half Success Formula to chart your own personal and business Success Map.

evolve works with Professional Advisors to offer the only transition-focused program that delivers the knowledge, support, and accountability you need to achieve your own Second-Half Success.

Chamber Connections

Chamber Connections help you take your business to the next level.  Equal parts networking and education, this ongoing series began in 2009 to give you an opportunity to connect with local businesses on an intimate level while listening to a panel discussion or business speaker.  We ask all who attend to be prepared to stand up and give a brief (60 seconds or less) elevator speech about their business.  This is designed to help attendees connect with each other and know who else is in the room.  Past Chamber Connections topics and speakers have included:
