"For many years you've been the successful CEO of your own company. Now you are facing a new challenge - a future in which you may have to make a major business and personal transition", writes successful entrepreneur, life transition expert, and CEO of the Successful Transition Planning Institute, Jack Beauregard in his answer filled and new life building book Finding Your New Owner: For Your Business, for Your Life. The author describes how retiring Baby Boomers can make a successful transition from being the CEO of their company to becoming the CEO of their new life.

Jack Beauregard recognizes that moving on from a life as an active business owner, and into the next phase of life, presents a real challenge for most people. The author takes the proactive approach of building on the already well developed skills of the successful CEO. Jack Beauregard shares the principle of thinking about life transition strategically, and presents his concepts in a practical step by step format, that utilizes the strengths of the CEO. By guiding the CEO to develop a transitional strategy, the author demonstrates how to create a plan on one's own terms, and one that meets the individual's business, financial, and personal goals and objectives.



Instead of treating the change as one of leaving or letting go, Jack Beauregard (photo left) offers the tools for building an exciting new life worth being embraced with excitement. Through his understanding that transitioning from business ownership to the next stage of life, is simply another step forward in the journey, the author helps the individual approach change with a positive outlook. With this fresh view of the situation in place, the former CEO can apply the tools provided to develop a transition strategy that meets all of the personal goals of the person and their families. By focusing on discovering clarity in the change, the author helps dispel the many myths that have grown up around the different stages of life's journey.

The author breaks the transition down into three major categories, where a strategically oriented CEO can put their greatest strengths to work in a positive and personally fulfilling manner:

* Changing the way a person thinks about leaving the company for the next step
* How to create an exciting new future that the person can't wait to enter and live
* Creating a successful business plan to facilitate the transition effectively

For me, the power of the book is how Jack Beauregard combines a deep understanding for the emotional impact of transitioning from the role of successful CEO to the next phase in life, with a practical, business strategy approach to facilitating that change. The author demonstrates real respect for his target readership by not only valuing their strategic planning skills, but putting those same abilities to work to create a seamless and effective plan for the transition to the future. The application of the strongest CEO business skills empowers the individual to take the next turn in life's journey on one's own terms, and for achieving personal, financial, and family goals. The author sets out the book in a logical and straightforward manner, again showing respect for the CEO strategic thinking and planning approach.

I highly recommend the purpose driven book Finding Your New Owner: For Your Business, for Your Life by Jack Beauregard, to any business and professional people, nearing or past the age of fifty, who are seeking a no nonsense, yet sensitive approach to planning for building an exciting life after CEO. The author shows a strong concern for the emotions of his readers, and at the same time has a profound respect for their proven planning abilities.

Read the Baby Boomer life transition strategies filled book Finding Your New Owner: For Your Business, for Your Life by Jack Beauregard, and discover how to not only consider the next exciting stage of your life, but how to plan and implement a strategy to make it a success. This book will help you design a future for you and your family that you won't be able to wait to live and enjoy.
