Book Description
Is Your Future in the Family Business?
When your parents own a business, your career decisions hit close
to home. This guide helps you determine whether your future should
be with the family enterprise. You’ll discover how to take
charge of your career for success and happiness—inside or
outside of the family business
Take Ownership of Your Career Path
Family businesses seldom plan for the transition to the next generation.
Instead of joining the family business by default, learn how to
create an education and career plan that fits who you are and what
you want.
- Write your own script and make career decisions for the right
reasons.
- Develop marketability and credibility instead of feeling entitled.
- Build a career portfolio, get work experience outside the family
business, and find objective mentors.
Tackle the Challenges Faced by the Next Generation
As a member of a business-owning family, you have opportunities
and challenges that other people don’t. This book covers the
issues you must deal with in an action-oriented way.
- Face family expectations while preserving relationships.
