Family Business - J V Crum, III, Conscious Millionaire Coach
A large number of the millions of small businesses in this country are family companies. That is how I started out. Farther and son or daughter, brothers or sisters, Mother and daughter or son, husband and wife, partners - and what do they all have in common?
Well, I didn't have to get the Masters in Psychology to figure this one out - about one week in business with my dad and I was already experiencing it. Here it is - you can not completely separate out your family issues from your business issues. They are always there - even if you agree that your role with one another when doing business is different from your role with one another from a family perspective, the family role is always there as part of the business.
So what is the solution - actually the real solution is to be conscious that this is occurring. To stay aware, be present with tension or business role interference from family issues. Clear any family matters at home or outside of the office - then when you are in the office stay focused on business interactions. Most of all, the solution comes down to staying aware that the family dynamics are there along side the business ones - and when you need to clear a family matter, do it - then get back to business.
I do coaching about family matters – if you or anyone you knows who is in a family business and you want to grow the business while honoring your family needs, I’ll be glad to discuss how I can help you accomplish both.
To Your Success!
