[QUOTE="waterbuffalofarmer, post: 8080816, member: 54454"] you do in a way, but as with everything, there is always a line between being selfish to an extent and being selfish to prevent others from having a chance or by not listening to anyone else and taking their opinions into consideration. The difficulty in family businesses is that you know each other too well and that can cause issues in that you don't treat each other with the respect you would treat those who are employed by you, who are not related etc. The whole point of a family business is to grow and work with each other and take on others' ideas. The idea of being completely selfish, in that there's nothing wrong with looking out for the business to the best of your ability and to what you think it needs, but you also have to try to balance that with listening to others' ideas, if it is to grow it can't just grow from one person's vision. People need to feel involved and wanted/needed and not permanently dragged this way and that with no say. [/QUOTE]
