Some families just have a knack for entrepreneurship. Starting a family business has unique advantages and challenges. On one hand, families work together and coordinate in a way that mere business partners cannot, and everyone in the family participates in the success of the business. On the other, familial bonds can get in the way of business decisions and pressures and even be detrimental to the business. There isn’t one specific way to correctly deal with these issues, but a good place to start is to study the stories of other successful entrepreneurial families. There’s plenty of great advice that comes from such families, and Fundera has compiled 7 such tips from them in a handy infographic to get your family through those tough times!
