027- Starting a Family Business

In this show I look at some questions you should ask yourself before starting a family business that will help you evaluate why and what kind of business you should start.  When you own your own business or work for yourself you can have more freedom, better opportunity to disciple your kids, greater influence, and more profit from your labor.  So what kind of business should you start?  To answer that you need to evaluate at least 4 things: your passion, your resources, your goals, and the market.  Join me as we discuss these today.
