The P.T. Entrepreneur Podcast Ep606 | Should You Hire Family and Friends?
In this episode, Dr. Danny delves into the topic of working with family and friends. He shares his personal experience of working with his wife in their practice and how they were able to divide and conquer by utilizing their skills and strengths. Dr. Danny recommends taking the Rocket Fuel assessment to determine if you and your spouse have complementary skills before considering working together.
The pros and cons of working with family and friends are discussed in detail, including the benefits of trust, ownership level efforts, and ease of finding employees. However, the cons include the potential for less professionalism, blurred lines between friend and boss, and difficulties when it comes to termination.
Danny advises listeners to be careful not to let family members be demeaning in a work setting and to consider how they are perceived in the present versus the past. Ultimately, the decision to work with family and friends is a personal one that should be based on careful consideration.
