Should there be an end to a family business leader’s quest for success? Is there a logical or practical stopping point?
Listen to our blog this week as Wayne attempts to answer this pressing question – When is Enough Enough? We look forward to hearing your thoughts and comments.
Ron Daniel says:
Enough is Enough, this is the question I am asked by my wife of 37 years. My answer has always been the same NEVER, I am having to much fun!!!
Wayne Rivers says:
Glad you’re having fun, Ron. She may have some valid points, however…
Curtis Hoare says:
Great blog so true in most cases. What about when the greed of one becomes all that matters, and the idea of a family business is lost in the hunt for the almighty dollar. When the customers become just another dollar sign?
Wayne Rivers says:
When the customer becomes “just another dollar sign,” the fambiz has likely begun its decline…
Tom Williams says:
Well put in a concise vlog. Thanks for sharing!
Wayne Rivers says:
Thanks, Tom. You’re welcome.
Randy Reihmann says:
Wayne,
Great blog! I learned when I was 30 the definition of “rich”. A study by sociologists revealed that real wealth or being “rich” was 3x what you have.
Today I’m 60 and though I’m wealthy, truly rich would be……..about 3x what I have.
But that’s just assets.
I have great family, friends, business and life in general. Like you said, the business will never be “perfect”, but we’ll keep trying!

Great insight, Randy. I never heard the 3x thing. Dr. Tom Stanley said “affuence” happens when your net worth = 7x your annual income. Lots of ways to define wealth, I suppose!

Terrific blog ,with great advice. When you start to lose passion ,it is time to get out. Otherwise charge forward, develop people and have fun.
