Management Consulting for Family Businesses

  "As the twig is bent so grows the tree."

"The power of a family working together in business can be matchless." 

 

"IT IS ABOUT EMPOWERING PEOPLE!"

Although, family always is a priority, a family business is the revenue producer for the family like the food we eat.  Without a steady flow of revenue, the business will slowly die and without the business, a family cannot sustain.   Therefore, honor, respect and appreciation must be family members’ primary commitment to making the business the best that it can be.  A family business does not mean that it can modify itself to meet the wants and even needs of the family members who work in the business.   The responsibility of being model employees is even greater for a family business because family members must be examples, and they always must honor the principle of keeping family and business separate in conversation and action.  Owning and working in a family business is one of God’s greatest gifts because it is a microcosm of life allowing a multitude of experiences to help mold each person into people of character.

 

Legacy of a Family Business

Only a very small percentage of family business make into the legacy years.   According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, over 50% of small businesses fail in the first year and 95% fail within the first five years.  If you face the issues straightforwardly, which all family businesses must face, deal with these issues with an open and receptive heart and mind, and be willing to change and let go, your family and your company can join this small percentage of successful family businesses and enjoy a legacy of prosperity and harmony for generations to come. I help family members and staff resolve conflicts, improve family and staff relationships by opening the lines of communication and illuminate thinking, and most importantly, help family members build/rebuild trust. The results are greater harmony, more smoothly running operations, increased profitability and productivity, and leaders who are more confident, effective, and passionate about what they do.

I have solid experience and a proven successful record of accomplishment as a management consultant and transformational expert for over twenty years. I have worked directly with twelve companies ranging from a brokerage firm in New York City (Member NYSE, NASD, and SIPC) to a manufacturing company to a startup medical practice to a family business of four in New Jersey. I continue to serve most of these companies in an advisory capacity when needed. My efforts combined with the cooperation, dedication, and hard work of the people from each of these companies significantly increased revenue, and profits while creating a more enjoyable workplace where people could do their best work, express more of their talents, and help the company live up to its full potential.
