Description

Planning ahead is not just about family care — it is also a principle that can transform how you run your business. In this episode, I talk with Ann Marie Klosko, owner of Eldercare Transition Consulting, about the powerful lessons entrepreneurs can learn from helping families navigate eldercare transitions.


Ann Marie shares real world stories of what happens when families plan ahead — and when they don’t. The parallels for business owners are striking: ignoring tough conversations or avoiding decisions can create chaos, while thoughtful preparation leads to smoother outcomes.


Her insights will challenge you to think differently about leadership, planning, and decision making, both at home and in your business.


What Business Owners Will Learn in This Episode:

How planning for difficult situations in advance reduces stress and conflict


Why avoidance is one of the costliest mistakes leaders make — in family and in business


The role of communication and transparency in making transitions smoother


Lessons from family dynamics that translate into building healthier teams


How facing uncomfortable realities can set your business up for long term success
