The red flag was working with family + business. Those two things just don't mix especially if you already have a bad foundation and more money isn't going to solve it, it will just increase tensions. I don't get my family involved in my side gigs and would like to keep it that way to prevent any sour relationships from not getting what I/They want from greed. I hope you consider trying a different path if feasible or if it's in the same business, just a section where you're free to do your stuff and left unbothered by the main branch.
I am currently working on branching out and in the legal process of doing that. The main branch board directors include my brother who is quite incompetent and does not have any work ethic at all. It is quite a pain working with such person considering we are boutique firms too with less than 30 employees who need to have a good leadership and proper management. I feel sorry for these employees though.
Hope it works out soon. You're also racing against time being built to the new venture versus sticking out to the current one. There's no easy method and it's unlikely you're going to have a fun time despite the separation because if you end up being more successful, you'll know there's going to be envy. Can't say I don't want your problem, I probably would want that headache if my family had a business given my current knowledge but alas, I came from poverty and trying to dodge being dragged down further.
😅Ah yes, sibling rivalry is real and envy included. I mean, the reason I got back into all this was partly through envy. Who wouldn't want to live in a fancy gated private neighborhood? That made me snap and started being an adult. Play time is over but it is a headache on its own, you know as well that family can be our biggest enemy rather than friends.
I can understand the feeling of being dragged down further, in my other set of life, I would say similar thing too. I grew up in poverty and my only goal was not to get dragged down further. That was the main goal, get into top university, landing myself a great job with stable income
Until I learned I had this set of family and honestly, damn even the way they think, invest and approach to life are different than many of us 😅 these people collect degree like it's Pokemon cards.
