About

In America, family owned businesses are the backbone of our economy. And they're successful. 35% of Fortune 500 companies are family owned. Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, was founded by two brothers, Sam and Bud.There are many reasons why working with your family and close friends can be an advantage: You work with people you trust. Trust is the backbone of success for Pam and Dave Elsberry. Lisa Hladish, founder of Paper Daisies says, "There is a trust level I cannot expect or get from non-family members". This is why Lisa relies on her entire family to help run her growing stationary business. Brett Berish of Luc Belaire agrees - "The main thing is trust. It's a huge factor. It's not trusting that they won't take something, it's trust that they'll get the job done." It's important to trust those you are giving control to. It's not just a business; it's your baby, and Pam and Dave will take care of your baby."
