Family Business Profiles Features Positive and Inspiring Family Business Success Stories
Family Business Profiles is a new feature on the web site of Family Business Experts offering a brief sketch of successful family businesses.
(PRWEB) June 6, 2005 -- Atlanta-based Family Business Institute and their web
based organization, Family Business Experts, announced they have launched a new
initiative - Family Business Profiles.
Family Business Profiles features
positive and inspiring stories about successful family businesses.
Family
Business Institute founder, Don Schwerzler, reports that Family Business
Profiles has received highly favorable responses from family
businesses.
"Our new Family Business Profiles section was inspired partly
because you can rarely pick up a newspaper or business magazine without reading
another “gloom and doom” article about family-owned businesses. The media loves
to publish stories about family businesses that are self-destructing and family
relationships that have run amok. The juicier the better, it seems." said
Schwerzler.
"After we read these stories, we wonder how families can get
themselves into such difficult and sometimes irreversible circumstances. Then we
take a deep breath and try to convince ourselves that nothing like that will
ever happen to our family business. But it’s too late. The seed has been
planted, and we are discouraged by the stories of failure."
On the other
hand, success stories are likely to generate a much more positive response.
Stories about families that have weathered storms and prospered can give us
inspiration, encouragement and insight into our own situations. Family
businesses have always been quick to seize a new idea or concept and adapt it
for their own.
"With that in mind, we have decided to add a new feature
to our web site and e-zine, Understanding Family Business. Here are the stories
of real family businesses whose experiences will provide readers with insights
and examples of some of the family business strategies that worked for them"
said David Jones, principal and Internet consultant with the Family Business
Institute.
Schwerzler indicated that family-owned businesses who would
like to be considered as a candidate for the Family Business Profiles can fill
out a simple questionnaire on their web site and that will start the process.
The questionnaire can be accessed at
http"//www.family-business-experts.com/family-business-profiles.html
"If
you are a family-owned business and would like your story profiled in
Understanding Family Business, please let us know by using our Family Business
Profile Questionnaire contact form. Your family business profile may be an
inspiration to other family businesses, and the free publicity could also be
helpful to your business" said Schwerzler.
If you are a professional
service provider and would like to nominate one of your client's as a candidate
for Family Business Profiles, let us know using the same Family Business Profile
Questionnaire and we will be happy to recognize their success.
