Families are about love, giving, and acceptance. Business is about accountability, performance, and proving yourself.

These people are not [outsiders]. They are an integral part of the family and, by extension, the family business.

Someone who's never been exposed to it doesn't really understand that the family business is the moving force in the family.

They have a philosophy to enjoy life. When they reach a certain age and a certain amount of money, they're happy to move over for the next generation.

In most cases, family businesses are stronger because of the complementary skills of their members.

To be loved and to love, takes courage. To be fully seen is incredibly rare and breathtaking. We lower our masks and see a celestial inner being. It is our full self -- the supernova as well as the black holes. Our fears and doubts. Our anger and joy...This is love.
