THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
– O’Malley and McEnerny
It doesn’t always makes sense, is sometimes bad for us, but we do it anyway.
I did it, you do it, and the kids are right behind us. We can’t help ourselves because working with family can be great.
AND… we’re emotional beings, not logical robots.
We live based on what our heart feels, rather than what our head says.
And there is the unbreakable connection and affection to family. When we work with family we can enrich the most important relationships of our lives.
We do it because working with family can be our greatest challenge—and our most meaningful work.
Family businesses don’t hire us because things are going great and everyone loves one another. We get brought in for two reasons:
When you’re looking at disaster.
We can help you find your way through the storm.
When your family business faces disaster, the pressure can feel overwhelming. The lines between business challenges and family dynamics blur, creating a perfect storm of stress that threatens everything you’ve built together. Our step-by-step guidance is focused on identifying the real stressors, understanding the family dance, and developing customized solutions. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter approaches.
When you want to prevent disaster.
We can help you build resilience in your family enterprise.
The strongest family businesses don’t just respond to crises—they anticipate and prevent them. Our proactive approach helps you identify vulnerabilities and build systems that withstand both predictable challenges and unexpected fires. Our framework maps your current dynamics as a family, anticipates future challenges, and implements structural solutions. Don’t just survive—it’s time to emerge stronger for the generations to come.
