“The only constant is change”, said Philosopher Heraclitus some 2500 years ago already. He was a wise man, because I am sure it resonates; especially with those of us leading a business. Economical, political, climatological, organizational and relational factors – to name a few – all play an important role in our decision making, planning and our strategies. Adjusting to circumstances is the definition of our existence.
And when you are blessed with options and choices, then your personal goals and wishes come into play as well. When you naturally add to this mix the goals and wishes of your business partner(s), it is quite a challenge to stay on course and on the same page through all the changing circumstances. Add family relationships as an ingredient to the recipe and you get a taste of what I mean.
At CosMic Plants we managed to mix all the aforementioned factors into a successful formula. In 20 years, we grew the business from its inception in a new country to a mature, healthy and reputable company. Thus, once established, we were blessed with options. All the more when my nephew Connor entered into a managerial position with ambitions to move into ownership. To make a long story short: we are proud to announce that this fall I will be selling my ownership shares in the company to my nephew, who will move the business forward together with his father and the team of amazing employees.
