As a successful business owner, you realize that financial success is just the beginning.you still have many other challenges to face. However, the real threat to the continued success and growth of your business doesn't come from ruthless competitors, spiraling costs, oppressive government regulations, militant unions or runaway inflation. The main threat lies in the managerial practices and policies that you - like too many other business owners - have chosen to follow since the day you started business. Over the years, age and success have become your partners and they demand from you a set of solutions and approaches that are totally different from what you had to use to survive in the "good ol' days." You had the dream, the ability, and the guts to build your business from virtual scratch, but now you must also have the guts to accept the fact that the perpetuation of your business is in your hands and is your responsibility. You've been running so fast and working so hard that it's been difficult for you to take an objective look at what you are doing - or failing to do - to ensure the survival, growth and profitable continuity of your business. Time is your most precious asset, but you only have a finite amount of it. You must begin by making some changes now, while there is still time to make them. In this book, Dr. Danco outlines his recommendations for ensuring the success, continuity, and perpetuation of the business you have built on your sweat, guts, and talent. As a teacher, consultant, and advisor for nearly four decades, to thousands of family-owned or privately-held businesses, he has made it his goal to force business owners to take critical looks at themselves, their actions, their business, and their family - examinations that are absolutely necessary if their dream is to survive. The survival of your company is a vital ingredient in our North American way of life. It depends on your courage and your action.

If I die tomorrow... Preventing a Family Disaster

May 29, 2011

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The business I have spent the last 10 years building? No one in my family could run it, and if they tried to sell it, they wouldn't get what it's worth, in fact it would probably cause as much heartache to get rid of my inventory and shut it down as my death itself. So my grieving widow and kids would be faced with this burden also. And God only knows what grief the legal system and IRS would do... (And I keep very good books with Quicken!)

Reading this book has set me on the path to make sure that this particular disaster doesn't happen. Worth every penny.

A classic that is still important for today's challenges in family business leadership

July 24, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

A lasting legacy of insight from a visionary in the field is as relevant today as it was in the 70's. Some of the text is dated, but the core concepts are as solid and important as they were when they were first put down in writing.

The first and best guide for family business

March 9, 2005

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I first read this book in the early 1990's. It was an eye opener for me. It spoke right to my heart with the issues that I was dealing with at that time.

Dr. Danco started an entire industry of family business advisors that now help families deal with the issues of succession of management and power. However, his work is still the best.

Do yourself a favor. If you have your own business, read this book!

Best Book on Family Business

December 21, 2010

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is the best book that I've read on family businesses. I've read many business books, including many that focus on family businesses and small companies, but this book offers a better in-depth view and real practical solutions to many common problems. Clay Mathile, billionaire and founder of the Iams Co., stated that this was one of his favorite books and I can easily see why. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that owns, or will own, a family business.
