Publisher's Synopsis
Dan Fortune gave up his personal dreams and aspirations on the sudden death of his father to salvage a rundown community food market, and to provide for his mother. Through hard work, skill and good luck, Dan grew that local market into a major chain of markets and a vertically integrated food business. Despite this apparent success, Dan felt that things were out of control. Life was complex, too complex. His wife Marnie felt that their family was falling apart and internal strife between his two eldest children, who were both vying to run the business, threatened to undo everything that he and Marnie had worked so hard to build. Out of desperation, Dan and Marnie reached out to their trusted friend and business partner Ben Curtis. Ben had already successfully transitioned his family real estate development business to the next generation. Ben referred Dan and Marnie to the folks who had guided him and his wife Ginny and their family successfully through their own transition. Dan and Marnie embarked on their own succession journey. Guided by the GBA team, they apply a unique succession management system. Dan eventually gains clarity and control over his situation, learning what options are both possible and most appropriate in their circumstances. For those who are involved in a family business or a business family in any capacity, Fortune's Impasse will provide inspiration, hope and guidance on how to achieve clarity, control and a good outcome for everyone involved.
