A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct.

Welcome to our blog!  It is my goal to offer information and knowledge to entrepreneurs and small business owners on their journey toward success. In this blog we will cover a wide range of topics that encompass not only the practical and day-to-day aspects of running a business, but also the philosophical, psychological, and emotional aspects that come with entrepreneurship.  Alongside the “how to” guides we will consider input and advice not only from business doyens such as Peter Druker and Dale Carnegie, but also additional thinkers such as George Leonard, “Mastery”; Edith Edgar, “The Gift”; and David Richo, “How To Be An Adult”;  and others, whose input is applicable to good business because it is applicable to a good life.

Our blog will follow the growth and evolution of a business, starting from the initial concept and progressing through every stage until a successful exit is achieved. Whether the plan is to sell the business, implement a succession plan, pursue an IPO, or wind it up, the hope is to offer guidance and insights to help you make informed decisions.

While this blog aims to present information in a logical and chronological order, it will be updated opportunistically to address the evolving needs of current clients. This means we will fill in any gaps as necessary and when possible.  If you have any special requests for the blog or any particular questions please feel free to contact me by email at info@gastonandgaston.com

Join us.  We will explore the diverse facets of building, operating, and ultimately thriving in the business landscape.  Remember, success is not a destination; it’s a continuous journey.
