NAIFA Speech

Last week I had the pleasure of speaking to the Mobile chapter of the National Association of Insurers and Financial Advisors. This was especially important to me because these professionals advise many of the small business owners I'm trying to reach with my book. Family-owned businesses and closely held corporations benefit greatly from their advice on how to plan for future succession. While these professionals help owner/managers with what they need to do, many of their clients won't act until they understand why they need to plan ahead.

I was thrilled that some of those I met with after the speech expressed a desire to buy large numbers of An Act of Congress - The Real-Life Story of Power & Politics in Family Business to send to their clients. They agreed that my book makes a powerful tool to encourage business owners to plan now rather than hope things work out over time. They don't!

I hope you enjoy the talk I gave to NAIFA - Mobile. I'd appreciate any comments you may have.
