Welcome back to Small Business School! Today we are talking about something that too often gets overlooked amidst the excitement of bringing loved ones into our business ventures, the financial implications! I’ve had this conversation countless times with clients so I think it’s time to shed some light on it! In this episode I’ll cover:

Topics Covered:

• The common tendency to approach hiring friends and family with unwavering optimism, overlooking potential pitfalls.
• The significance of paying friends and family members a market wage to avoid resentment and maintain professionalism. Encourage open dialogue and clear communication regarding roles, responsibilities, and compensation to mitigate misunderstandings.
• Challenges of managing personal relationships in a professional setting and the impact it can have on productivity.
• Maintaining a balance between leveraging personal connections and ensuring operational efficiency to safeguard the bottom line.

Hiring friends and family can be both rewarding and challenging, but navigating the financial aspects is crucial for long-term success in your business!
