In this follow up discussion, Clint Park takes us on a deep dive into this form of succession planning. Along the way, Clint helps us unpack this strategy and we delve into how to make this strategy succeed and when to know if this strategy won\u2019t work well for your business.  Conversation highlights: --What should business owners who are considering giving away their business think about first? --Clint\u2019s \u201cgoing concern\u201d test: Do you have independence from your business and does your business have independence from you? --Why your financial finish line matters if you want to gift some or all of your business to ministry (which implies that you have a financial plan and know your finish line). --If your financial plan depends on the sale of your business or distributions from your business, perhaps your business isn\u2019t ready to be given away. --Don\u2019t give away a business that isn\u2019t healthy. --What are the 3 main hallmarks of a healthy business? -- When you are focused on gifting the ownership of your business, you are also engaging in one of many different forms of succession planning.  Have you also considered the other options?  What will maximize your Kingdom impact? --There is little point in gifting your business in order to invest in God\u2019s Kingdom IF your business isn\u2019t healthy.   Connect & Learn more: Don\u2019t have a healthy business?
