The Family Business Manifesto

“With the right organization and frameworks in place, you can separate family and business issues so that both can thrive without drama. Through these changes, you can create guardrails that avoid some of the most common ways that family naturally runs into trouble in business.”
Mike MirauThe Family Business Manifesto

“Founders often hold back corrective action against their children—in the business and sometimes even at home. Whether out of guilt, a fear of confrontation, or a misplaced desire to nurture, they tolerate bad behavior. And as legendary football coach Tom Landry once put it: “You get what you demand; you encourage what you tolerate."”
Mike MirauThe Family Business Manifesto

“If you don’t understand all the key numbers in your business, it’s time to change that. You don’t have to take a course in accounting to master the relationship between these numbers in your company. With just a little work, you can understand what makes these numbers go up and down, and that’s more than enough in most cases. So long as you have a good accountant doing the math behind the scenes, a basic understanding allows you to spot-check your business, explain your finances to family, and make those big decisions.”
Mike MirauThe Family Business Manifesto

“To take those first steps and avoid the worst possible fate for your family and business, choose the area where you feel you’re weakest—whether it’s a business practice or a family strategy—and start working right away. As you implement changes, they can build, strengthening every aspect of family, business, and life. They can reduce stress, increase productivity, remove the risk of unnecessary disagreements and miscommunication, and provide everyone with a role they can own.”
