Every Family's Business: 12 Common Sense Questions to Protect Your Wealth

By: Thomas William Deans Ph.D.

Narrated by: Dr. Thomas Deans

Every Family's Business is listed by The New York Times as one of the ten books business owners should own.

With more than 1 million copies in circulation, it remains the best-selling family business book of all time. Much of its success is owed to the deeply original message about the dangers of gifting an operating business to family. It offers business owners and their family a proven process for building wealth and protecting family relationships by exploring whether the business should be sold inside or outside the family.

Every Family's Business includes 12 questions to help guide this emotional transition. This contrarian message is shaped by the author's own extraordinary family business experience. Prepare to unlearn everything you thought you know about family businesses, as he shares his own family secrets to transitioning three businesses over the course of 100 years for more than $100 million.
