“If somebody else can't operate your business and you can't transfer the value that you currently have in your business to that other person and allow them to operate it, your business is not ready. And so succession planning should be something that every business owner does every day because if they don't do it every day, you're not ready. You're going to miss something along the way.” -Doreen Binkiewicz
