Facing the Unknown Selling after 50

People nearing the sale of their business often lack certainty and clarity about who they will be, why they will matter, what they will do, and how they will maintain the function to do the things they always thought they would do in retirement or whatever comes next.

What about health?

The U.S. healthcare system really activates once a problem has risen rather than prevent. Questions you could post to your owner clients:

  • Do you know how to navigate this system and any new diagnoses?
  • Did you know there is so much that can be done to prevent common illnesses, accidents, injuries, and control things that happen in our bodies over the age of 50?

Propel Comprehensive Wellness can helps clients better navigate and get the most out of each and every healthcare visit. There are specific strategies we teach you in order to advocate for yourself or your family members.

AND, as clinicians, we know what those preventable issues that cause decline are, and we know what can be done to minimize those.

In addition, each of us have our own list of unique risk factors based on accidents, injuries, diagnoses, family histories, and family habits that we’ve acquired.

We are able to help uncover all of that and then teach clients how to use that to work with their healthcare team to minimize each one of those risks.

When someone is in a place of uncertainty or even fear of the future, it’s difficult to think creatively to see hopeful paths ahead or to want to move forward. Work stress, transaction steps, family demands, lack of clarity, and burnout all can drain resilience, endurance, and hope.

We help clients find that clarity, health, function, and hope!

And keep the deal moving on schedule since the owner is aware of and actively managing their stress and health.

Preparing to sell a business and navigating the transaction can be very stressful.  This video describes the impact of not managing stress.
