Working With Family: Good or Bad Idea?

Working with family members-if you think about it, it does not sound too bad. There are plenty of successful family businesses to prove a point that working together is not a bad thing. Think about your work environment and then your family and home environment. Now picture combining those worlds. You see your coworkers almost more than you see your own family. They become a second kind of family to many.

When you add in another family member that you see as much as your coworkers and then at home, is it too much?

I believe there are boundaries in life that, if crossed, can inhibit your happiness. If you are thinking about working with members of your family, think wisely and hard about it. You can deal with them for eight hours, and then when you go home?

I know your family would have your best interest at heart, but space is needed. I recently started working with family, and even though I love them, it was not a good idea. In Hollywood, family members that work together for a while rarely seem to stay with it for a long time.

So is it a good or bad idea? I am going to say both.

it just depends how your relationship is and how you want it to be after you start working together.
