Descrizione

The hardest decisions in business aren't made in boardrooms—they're made at dinner tables. When ambition meets family, lines blur, loyalties stretch, and risk doesn't just hit your bottom line—it hits your relationships. When Business Gets Personal: The Pros and Cons of Mixing Family with Your Entrepreneurial Ambition pulls back the curtain on the unspoken dynamics that make or break family-run ventures. It doesn't offer fairy tales. It lays out the consequences—good and bad—of turning your business into a family affair. Simon Beckett writes with precision and edge, delivering a brutally honest analysis of what happens when love and loyalty meet profit and pressure. This book goes far beyond romanticized notions of legacy. It exposes the friction between personal emotion and professional judgment, the unspoken resentments that simmer beneath polite smiles, and the business decisions that ripple far beyond spreadsheets. At the heart of it is one simple truth: nothing complicates risk like blood ties. Readers are taken inside the lived experiences of founders who took the leap with siblings, spouses, cousins, and kids. Some stories end in powerful synergy and generational wealth. Others end in estrangement, lawsuits, and lessons that came far too late. Beckett doesn't give you a formula—he gives you insight. The kind that comes only from watching how ambition transforms when it lives under your own roof. The book tackles what most business advice avoids: how to navigate favoritism, silence conflict without killing honesty, protect roles and boundaries in blurred environments, and keep your leadership voice when emotions cloud logic. You'll gain tools to communicate expectations clearly, structure your operations with objectivity, and prepare for the inevitability of change—even when that change includes a family member walking away. It walks readers through how power is distributed differently when you hire someone you've known since childhood. How accountability softens or sharpens when your CFO is also your older brother. How trust is both the asset and the liability. And how, over time, success becomes a mirror—showing not just what you built, but how you handled the people closest to you in the process. ***When Business Gets Personal***also examines the emotional toll. How resentment builds when equity isn't clearly defined. How burnout intensifies when you can't clock out of the relationship. How some founders carry guilt for putting business first, while others carry guilt for not protecting it enough. Beckett dissects these emotional undercurrents with the same clarity he brings to organizational structure, giving you a roadmap not just for success, but survival. Readers will learn how to establish clear role definitions, create succession plans that don't trigger family war, and deal with underperformance without triggering years of family history. You'll understand how to separate criticism of the role from criticism of the person—and why most families fail to draw that line until it's too late. This book isn't written for idealists—it's for realists who know the stakes. Who understand that mixing family and business isn't a shortcut to loyalty, but a daily negotiation of identity, power, and vision. It shows how to build a culture where family isn't an excuse for mediocrity, but a foundation for trust, resilience, and clarity. And for those navigating failure, Beckett gives a sober, empathetic lens for exiting gracefully—with relationships intact, lessons banked, and clarity restored. When Business Gets Personal is a necessary read for founders, successors, or anyone considering building something that touches both their future and their family. Beckett doesn't tell you what to decide—he shows you how to decide well, before the pressure strips away your ability to see clearly.
