A Healthy Family Supports a Healthy Business

Listen to Annie Koh as she explains why families need to prioritize their relationships over business matters.

Families in Asia have a tendency to put the business first as well. And that’s the danger. The danger is they keep saying, oh if the business is doing well, all of us will be looked after and everybody will be fine. But it’s not true, we have found that actually the family should come first, so the family unit, if you are doing well with each other in a relationship, most times the business will flourish. But if you put the business first, and you think that the business flourishing will make up for family happiness, you will be wrong, because you will be reading a lot of things in newspapers where the business is doing fantastically but brothers are fighting each other and parents are being sued by children because the money was very good, but they never healed the differences within the family. So the family should come first and when you put things right within the family you can then take business into the next gen, you can take business overseas, you can take business to the next level.
