Even legends lost it all without a plan
Prince’s $100M Estate Got Stuck for 6 Years — All Because He Had No Will
American Apparel Collapsed Overnight — Because the Founder Had No Continuity Plan
American Apparel Collapsed Overnight — Because the Founder Had No Continuity Plan
When music legend Prince died in 2016, he left behind a $100M+ estate — but no will.
The result? His family spent 6 years in court. Millions in legal fees. Delayed access to royalties. Years of uncertainty.
Even someone who owned everything… lost control of everything without a basic plan.
If that can happen to Prince — what happens to your business if something happens to you?

American Apparel Collapsed Overnight — Because the Founder Had No Continuity Plan
When founder Dov Charney was forced out of American Apparel, the company had no succession strategy, no operational hand off, and no legal continuity system in place.
What followed was a fast unraveling: 10,000+ jobs lost. Bankruptcy. The brand was sold off in pieces.
Without a plan, even iconic companies collapse.
If there’s no system in place, chaos fills the gap. Don’t let your company be the next cautionary tale.

WHY I BUILT THIS
After 20+ years in financial services & real estate, I kept seeing the same problem: Business owners with no real backup plan. They had income, but no clear answers to the big question: “If you didn’t come back tomorrow, would your team or family know what to do?” That’s the gap I help close before it’s too late.
WHAT AM I GOING TO WALK AWAY WITH?
This isn’t coaching.
This is a done-with-you plan that
makes sure your business doesn’t fall apart
if you’re suddenly unavailable.
Here’s what you’ll have in your hands at the end:
✓ A written continuity plan anyone can follow
✓ Step-by-step hand off instructions for your team or spouse
✓ A secure map of all accounts, logins, vendors, and payroll
✓ A clear succession snapshot if ownership needs to shift
✓ Final printed binder and digital copy
✓ A message that speaks for you, if you can’t.
