Why Join a Family Business – image by View Apart Canva Pro

Q. My child (age 20) has no interest in joining the family business. What can I do?

A. Very sorry to hear that; unfortunately, your options at this stage in your child’s life are far more limited. Any motivation you might provide for them to join is likely to be extrinsic and therefore may not be enduring. I’m going to defer on this question and discuss when to start preparing successors. by David Werdiger
