   The Master Plan that goes much deeper than most of the other strategic processes that exist today.

We purchased one of our first companies from Peter in his early days as an investment banker and the transaction was a win-win for both buyer and seller.  What sets Peter apart from other investment bankers is his holistic approach with clients that balances valuation with the client’s need for a personal financial plan and a plan for living beyond the sale of the business.

There are very few people in business today that I trust implicitly. Peter Christman is one of those people. A great thinker, a thought leader, and a person that I greatly admire. His pioneering thinking on Exit & Succession planning, personal and strategic planning has shown others a path through a myriad of confusion. Well done Peter on the new book. This takes off where the last book left off. A powerful sequel in the series.

  Pete Christman knows this simple truth: if you own your business, eventually you won’t.   Most people are so preoccupied with running their company that they fail to thoughtfully plan for the future.  Want to leave your business on your terms?  Make sure you read "The Masterplan

Peter Christman understands better than anyone that business owners facing a transition have a lot on their mind. So it's no surprise that he has once again broken new ground into the needs of business owners to have a "Master Plan" that goes much deeper than most of the other strategic processes that exist today. Without a clear plan in all of the 3 areas Peter's book oulines, many business owners will lack the motivation to pull the trigger on their planning and most will not have a fulfilling new life after their business sale or transfer. The risks for owners, families and employees are much too high to not give this book a careful read.
