Takeaways + Tactics
If you\u2019re considering working with family, make sure you have a buy/sell agreement in place.
In any business, it\u2019s important to respect the time of your peers. Make sure you\u2019re staying respectful of everyone you\u2019re surrounded by. This applies when you work with family, as well.
Never forget that your employees follow your lead in terms of behavior. If you\u2019re late to meetings or seem disinterested, your team will base their behavior on that model.

Company culture is extremely important. Even if you\u2019re seeing great results in terms of numbers, the reality is most people won\u2019t remain in a culture that makes them unhappy. Make sure you\u2019re offering value to everyone involved in your business and never underestimate the role happiness plays at work. Look for people who embody your values, and enact those values in front of them. Then, do whatever you can to retain them.
