Working With The Ones You Love

If you're just getting into your family business you in for a bumpy ride. Specially 3rd generation family business and older. Get this book as soon as you can. I found it 5 years into my family business and it probably would have saved me a lot of struggling. You're obviously not the only one having issues with business vs family and this gives you a good foundation to start off on the right foot.

This is one of two "required reading" texts for my clients and the transactional advisors who assist me in my own family busines practice. I've not found anything else as informative, insightful and helpful regarding "working with the ones you love." Great exercises that are readily accepted even by the more skeptical family members. Family businesses have told me they've found this helpful even when for fee or geographic reasons--my practice is limited to the Central Valley--I've referred them to this book in lieu of meeting with them personally.
