Why start a family business?

I met someone recently who asked this question, as they genuinely couldn’t see the point. They worked for a major corporate and thought all family businesses were small. After enlightening them to the fact the business they worked for was originally a family business, I thought long and hard and gave him the following eight reasons:

Values
Ethics
Responsibility
Self-respect
Self-reliance
Honesty
Self-determination
Filling the fridge!

There are more, in fact many more, but the above are a good start. After we discussed the above in a little detail, they agreed they were in many ways, compelling reasons.

Sometimes we forget the key to a family business and why we do what we do. It was good to be reminded of them by providing some insight to someone who hadn't been exposed to such positive experiences. They see the business world in a different light now – as we do!

If I can help you in any way, you know where I am.

Until the next time
