Someday Is Not a Plan: A Working Session on the Succession Planning Master Checklist

Most self storage owners know succession planning matters. Very few have actually done it.

This session is a continuation of the Napa discussion — designed to move from ideas to action.

  • A live walkthrough of the 8-step Master Checklist used with business owners across the country
  • Built around the real questions every owner eventually has to answer: exit path, timing risk, key employee retention, and whether your plan actually reflects what you want
  • Focus on the decisions that drive outcomes — including your Go‑Home Number, locking in key people, and what must be done before a buyer is in the room
  • A candid look at why most plans fail — and how to avoid the predictable mistakes that derail transitions
  • Interactive, peer-driven format — bring your situation and pressure-test it in real time

You’ll leave with a direct view of where you stand — and what to do next.

Whether you're preparing for retirement, considering a future sale, or simply beginning the planning process, you'll gain valuable insights and practical strategies to help ensure a successful transition. 

Thank you to our sponsors
