Many people start small businesses with the dreams of starting family empires. According to Aaron Pascoes, While there's absolutely nothing wrong with this, it's totally important that the people you opt to align together with your company- whether as a member, officer, or employee- are qualified. 

If you intend to open a restaurant, this doesn't mean that everyone that's affiliated together with your business should have restaurant experience... but it DOES mean that you just should have people with business knowledge, some with experience within the food industry, and a few those who are extremely well connected to offer you a grip over your competition.
