Here’s how you can get started….
3 Simple Steps To Protect Your Legacy As An Entrepreneur
- Get clear on the assets you own (or will inherit) so you can begin the process of completing your estate plan
Completing your estate plan, including your will, healthcare directive and power of attorney, needs to be at the top of your to do list. It isn’t just about money, it’s about peace of mind and honoring your wishes. This can be an intimidating process for some, but it doesn’t have to be! We have resources to walk you through it.
To get started, all you need to do is create a list of all of the assets that you own. This includes real estate, bank accounts, investment accounts, retirement accounts, life insurance, jewelry, furs, and vehicles.

Don’t let your hard-earned wealth and physical assets fall into uncertainty. Take the time to outline what you own so you can decide how you’d want your assets to be distributed.
- Ensure someone you trust has access to the data on your cell phone
As an entrepreneur, your cell phone is the key to the kingdom! There’s so much information about your business and personal life on your phone, so it’s important that someone you trust can have access to your data if you pass away. That’s why you need to set up a Legacy Contact!
Here’s why a Legacy Contact is essential:
● Continuity for Your Business: Your designated Legacy Contact can access essential information to keep your business operational. This includes client contacts, project details, and crucial financial data.
● Preserving Your Online Presence: Social media accounts and business profiles can become a valuable source of comfort and connection for your customers and community. A Legacy Contact can manage these accounts with dignity, sharing updates and ensuring a smooth transition.
● Peace of Mind for You: Knowing your data is secure and your business has a fighting chance, even in your absence, brings immense peace of mind.
