If you genuinely are a Disruptive Successor, you’ll have a bigger vision than that of your forebears. You may already be known for your desire to achieve and ability to innovate, but you’ll need to bring fresh ideas, new technology, new or improved products/services and better processes to increase your family business’ competitiveness and profitability.

Because the founders view you as young with a short-term mindset, you’ll have to demonstrate that you actually have a clear long-term vision focused on ambitious but attainable goals. Now is your defining moment—one that may take years to demonstrate, but can be your legacy.

There are endless books out there on how to scale up a business. But very few of them are written for the next-generational family member of an entrepreneurial founder in a multigenerational business—the Disruptive Successor. That’s why I’ve written this guide for those who are gearing up for intergenerational transitions in family businesses, facing the reality that few succeed, and are determined to beat the odds.

Testimonials

“With 40% of family business owners expecting to retire and many in the next five years, having a coach and a playbook to guide you through the succession is vital. Disruptive Successor gives you the playbook and the coach together.”

-Verne Harnish, founder Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) and author Scaling Up (Rockefeller Habits 2.0)

“It’s always interesting that staff do not always follow your instructions as you would wish, but as soon as an outsider comes in, they eat it up. A coach or an advisor is an absolute necessity. I used them all the time and was able to grow my business from six to 200 employees. The advice and strategies shared in this book would have been invaluable to me to convince my staff that what I was saying was important and should be acted on. And, Jonathan is the ideal person to help you out.”

—Harvey Goldstein, author of The Hot Dog Syndrome, entrepreneur, and former Managing Partner of SingerLewak

“Jonathan Goldhill has used his extensive business experience as an entrepreneur, consultant, and coach to create the ‘how to’ manual for family business. As a family business survivor myself, I concur with Goldhill’s message and appreciate the many action steps suggested in the book to help cement the valuable knowledge.”

—Jim Muehlhausen, author of The 51 Fatal Business Errors and How to Avoid Them, Business Models for Dummies, and Half Retire: Keep Your Business, Ditch the Stress

“At some point, every business owner begins to think about their legacy; for a family business owner, it may be the main reason to get up every morning. Don’t waste another minute—invest in your family business—read this book.”

—John Jantsch, best-selling author of Duct Tape Marketing and The Self-Reliant Entrepreneur
