I've been intrigued by the Skorys for years. They're four siblings who grew up and started a successful business on YouTube together. Somehow they still enjoy being around each other, figured out how to work well together, respect each other, and do it all in a profitable way. How does that work? And what did their parents to do foster that kind of environment for them growing up so that they could start a business and work together as young adults? All questions I dig into with them in this encouraging interview.

Employees and kids don’t come out of a box fully trained and designed to do one thing and do it well. Often the frustrations we might feel about the poor job our employees or kids do is actually our fault for not training them well enough. We poorly set expectations and then expect them to meet the undefined expectations every time. Instead, SOPs can be a great tool in helping us set expectations and then ensure that they’re met every time, whether it be by employees or children.

The normal approach is to motivating employees is to pay them more money. With kids, we typically motivate them with bigger rewards or worse consequences. There’s some merit to both approaches, but I’ve been thinking about what Daniel Pink refers to in his research about what drives people. It’s prompted a few thoughts for both motivating our employees as well as our kids. The research seems counterintuitive at first, but I think it makes sense to enabling our business teams and children to enjoy their work more and do it better than ever before.

When your business team grows, that’s usually a sign of success and that things are going well, but if the family team grows with too many children, often the family system starts to break down a bit. What if, instead, we saw our family as a team and oriented it in such a way that it grew stronger as the family team grew larger?

Every family struggles with work/life balance. For us, we have 7 kids, a business, employees, a marriage, property, and more. It’s taken us almost 15 years to get to a place where our family rhythm feels like it’s at a good place. My wife shares how we currently approach this challenge and what it looks like for us.

In my business I conduct monthly one-on-ones with each employee to review their job, how it’s working for them, review any performance issues, and discuss what they need in order to do better. There’s a lot of benefits fo this approach over an annual review. A lot of those same benefits apply to doing monthly one-on-ones with my wife and kids. It sets them up to thrive in our family and with the expectations and responsibilities they have here.

In the book, “Primal Branding,” Patrick Hanlon outlines the 7 elements that makes it easy for someone to fall in love with a brand. This is the stuff that grows YouTube channels and businesses every day, but they’re the same elements that capture our kids’ hearts for our “family brand.” Today I share a bit of what that looks like.

Having a vision, mission, and core values for your business not only helps you make good decisions for your business growth, but having those things written out for your family helps you make better decisions about your family’s time and resources, too. In fact, it’s what sets your business up to be the best in the world at what you do. It’ll do the same for your family, too.

Welcome to the first episode! I am really looking forward to talking with all of you about the intersection between business, family, and marriage. I’m learning that the skills I learn in one of those areas of my life overlap fairly significantly with the other areas of my life and make them all fruitful.
