◊ Finding a buyer, reaching agreement. Describe your business and the value it has to customers, employees and a prospective owner. Promote that value as desirable to an investor. When you identify possible buyers, learn what they want. Consider how purchasing your business might further their goals. What are the qualifications needed by an owner to be successful with your business? Design your business to be easy to own while fulfilling the objectives motivating most prospective buyers. Assisting others in achieving their goals enables you to reach yours. A win-win agreement is easier to sell; create what they’re looking for so they can demand what you offer and are happy to pay your price and terms.

Many of us resist change because we don’t know enough about our unique personal strategies for successful change. We all have made successful changes at some point in our lives. Many methods teach businesses formulas for successful change, but our goal is to help you identify and expand on your own personal success formulas that help move transformations from being something painful and anxiety producing, to something that is more natural and easy, to flow with the river of change rather than move against it. This is especially relevant for making successful changes in our work and business lives.

Many of us have learned to only appreciate the fixed, known, expected parts of our lives. We are afraid to take risks. Yet we also long for discovering the unknown, hidden, complex parts of our lives. We will learn how to appreciate and welcome the unexpected. Security without spontaneity can lead to a life that can become uninspiring, repetitive, and boring. We will learn to appreciate the unexpected as part of what adds spice to our lives, so that we aren’t just caught off guard, but learn to reduce the levels of shock and surprise and increase the amounts of thrill at experiencing something extraordinary. This kind of strategy allows us to take the risks necessary to move from something fixed to something new and potentially more creative in our work and business parts of lives, as well as in all of our relationships.

An edge is a term referring to the limits of our personal development in any given moment. When most of us hit our limits, we go backwards. However, we can train ourselves to become edge crossers, to go through the more difficult moments of transition rather than just backing off when challenges come. Many of those we identify, as highly successful people are those who have mastered this knowledge of how to stay with and go forward when they reach their own edges. We can have edges to leaving, to staying, to doing something old, to being more assertive—there are edges to any human behavior and human emotion. Master edge jumpers skillfully identify and go over their edges. They not only have more successful businesses and business transitions, but there are real health benefits to learning to hold one’s self and work at the edges.

Conflict work is transforming how we deal with disagreements at all levels, from our personal relationships, to businesses, to conflict between large groups and nations. By learning to be a successful conflict worker, we can save ourselves and our businesses incredible amounts of money, time, energy and grief. In this class, we will learn to begin to turn around even the most difficult conflicts, with brief, accurate interventions. We will learn skills that can apply anywhere to resolving a conflict, whether at home, at work, or on the streets. When we begin to make major transformations in our lives, some will resist those changes, and we will study together how to effectively work with those who we bump up against.

We need the tools to go beyond resolving conflict, to actually know how to work with the group process of those around us, whether our work situation, family, or whatever other support systems we interact with. We will look at basic Process Work group process methods that help us to move beyond polarization to maximum amounts of support. Successfully getting our families and associates to support our changes can make or break the kinds of transitions we are trying to achieve.

Our goals in teaching the kinds of transformation methods we will be going over are to help us learn to not only be effective in the middle of change, but to enjoy the wild ride that transformation can lead us on. The more we learn to go along with and flow with the changes trying to happen, the more we can regain the fun and enjoyment of our lives.

In many aspects of our lives, especially around how we make changes, we are operating like a computer with background programs running that we aren’t aware of. Once we discover the belief systems that program how we approach change, we can much more easily approach the whole area of positive change. We can free ourselves from negative, self–limiting, self destructive programs, and can reach the goals we most long to reach.

Modern life teaches us a great deal about how to hold on, accumulate, and attach ourselves to our work, our relationships, our possessions, which are vital survival skills. However, at another moment, our happiness in life depends on our abilities to flow with what is happening and to let go of our attachments when it is time to let go. The timing of letting go is a vital skill to making successful business and other kinds of life transitions.

So many of us have given up our dreams of what we really want to be doing with our lives because of various practical pressures. Yet, much of our sense of well-being and fulfillment has to do with living out our dreams. Many transitions are about our attempting to get back to these fundamental dreams that are very close to the core of who we are. Learn ways to identify these key life dreams and give ourselves the support we need to fulfill them.
