Family business

Running a family business has its ups and downs. On the one hand, family businesses have a lot of advantages. With a family business, everyone knows that they are really in it together. You are not just helping out the business, after all, but your family. When a family company is run well,There is no force that can beat it. Everyone knows their strengths and weaknesses, knows their duties within the business family, and knows how to talk to each other. Family businesses, however, are a lot like families. They can work well or they can work not at all. If your family owns a small business and communication starts to fall apart, you will see the disastrous results.

As a business owner, my grandfather was an extremely pioneering man. When he started the families business, everyone was overjoyed. Although starting family businesses takes a lot of work, he was willing to put in the effort. He brought people over from China one by one, and everyone got to work on the family business.

Paradoxically, it doesn't seem like the business family was really hard to do until it started to succeed. Everyone knew that their survival and happiness was dependent on making the family company work, so no one questioned the need to devote their lives to this. Now, the family business has prospered in bloom, but there are new problems around. You see, the new generation doesn't really want to work anymore. Between all of my grandfather's grandchildren, there are easily a dozen of us involved in this family business now, and we all have very different ideas.

Some of my cousins actually wants to sell the family business. The problem is that there has never been a very clearly defined family business succession plan. It wasn't a problem when we were all working together, but now that we are fighting, no one knows who owns the rights to the business. We have decided to hire a family counselor. It is somewhat embarrassing to see it come down to this, but I can't see any other solution. We don't want to have to decide the fate of the family business in court. We would much rather go through family therapy and learn to treat each other with respect. I only hope that it works out. My grandfather is still alive, and it would absolutely break his heart if anything happened to the future of the family business.
