Succession Plan

Nearing 62 years old, I’ve started getting questions about what my plans are for the future.

I usually get those questions from someone in the corporate office, and it always catches me a little off-guard because while I know there’s less days left in front of the horse than what’s behind the cart, but I never think of it much during the work day.

Only difference between now and twenty years ago is that the legs get a little heavy towards the end of the week.

I climb ladders and scaffolding without hesitation. I can’t imagine my clients calling someone else for their work because I’ve worked with most of them for more than 30 years.

“Your son is in the business, right?” I was asked. 

“Yes, he’s still learning.”

“Bring him in. I’ll hire him tomorrow.”

So, a true succession plan, I guess.

And nothing lasts forever.

Truly hoping that my boys get the chance to have a nice, long career in a country where they have a chance.

It’s bad enough what we did to these kids.

They need an opportunity.
