Advantages of Being Part of a Family Business

David Lafreniere discusses the different advantages that come with joining the family business.

So I believe that the advantages of being part of a family business is very, is partly because you have similar values to your company. For example my parents always taught me values that they respected and they put in place in their company, so I believe you get a stronger sense of ownership in your company and you really evolve with that company. I think that being in a family business is very interesting because you get to do so many things that you wouldn’t get to do in a big company for example, you would do many other tasks that are not related to what you do, because often, for example from my personal experience, when you are starting your company you have many things that are not related to you that has to be done and you cannot hire someone, in a bigger company it would be easier just do 9-5 and then leave, but in a family business, you have to take into consideration that that’s your baby, that’s your company and if you want it to grow, you have many things to get to it, it’s so, it can teach you many, many things, and that’s incredible.
