If there’s one thing we can always count on, it’s that families will continuously love and protect each other. A parent’s wisdom provides reason and caution through countless decisions and situations. If the idea of hiring your kids or running a family business has been tossed around, stop pitching practices and get in the game.
Around 35 percent of Fortune 500 companies are family-controlled and represent the full spectrum of American companies from small business to major corporations. On top of that, family businesses make up 62 percent of the country’s employment. The dependability, learning experiences, trust, bonding and influence of family values are hard to beat. Your family will have the opportunity to come together while the business offers security and a supportive environment. The workday can evolve into a more comfortable place and, with boundaries that separate the professional from personal, after hours can offer peace of mind and contentment.
