Speaking to the reader directly and asking questions in order to convince the reader that what she 's saying is true.

The Packers have only publically sold shares of stock five times in the…

plan not only helps with people understanding what will happen to the company, but also helps illustrate the plan instead of having a plan that is pieced together at the last minute. Along with succession plans are the need to stay away from 50/50 ownerships. The issues that arise are difficult decision making as both partners have to agree to move forward or if one disagrees then you’re at a standstill.
