Become a Guest on Family Business with Daphne



Daphne Mallory's Family Business To-Do List


Talk, talk, and then talk some more. That's my day today. My business growth depends on the number of conversations I start and continue daily, as well as the quality of those conversations. There's a direct correlation to my conversations and my revenue.

How about you? Do you agree? Share you failures and successes with conversations. How can I help?

Daphne Mallory's Family Business To-Do List for 1/5/2015


It's here...2015. Mondays (by default) have become major writing days for me. It's important for me to market my ideas and showcase my system for starting a family business. Writing helps me to do that in a credible way.

Figure out what activity establishes you as the go-to or expert in your market and do it. Do it often. Do it right. Eventually, you'll dominate your niche.

What activity is vital to making you credible in your market? Share in the comments.

Family Business Accounts From the Bible Noah



The account of Noah and his family is quite convicting. I'm a serial entrepreneur and I've failed in business. I don't stick around longer than 30 days, 6 months, or 1 - 2 years on the same project...let alone 120 years. Faithfulness to see projects through to the end is very difficult for me. I'm a starter...a visionary...all code for a non-finisher.

One of my goals for the next 5 years is to work on and finish long term projects. This will truly exercise my brain, develop my entrepreneurship skills, grow my business and enable the multi-generational thinking I yearn for.

How about you? What can you learn from Noah? Share in the comments.

3 Key Agreements Every Family Business Needs in Writing




Family business law is not family law. The latter deals with divorce, child custody, alimony and related issues. Family business law deals with starting, growing and transferring your business. The tricky part is, there isn’t a body of law called “family business law” (although I hope to change that). It’s an intersection of many practice areas, including business law, trusts and estates, property law, securities, non-profit law (ex: for family foundations) and yes, even family law. When looking at legal agreements, you have to borrow from these practice areas and apply them to your family business.
