You can grow a profitable family business without sacrificing your relationships.
Learn how to replace tension and confusion with clarity, unity, and momentum—progress, not perfection.
Family businesses carry higher stakes: money, legacy, identity, and love all collide. Without clear agreements, honest conversations, and shared direction, small misunderstandings become big conflicts, succession turns into a crisis, and the business you built to support the family can start pulling it apart.
In Creating a Thriving Family Business, globally recognised adviser John Broons (Fellow of the Family Firm Institute, multi-award-winning advisor, and co-founder of FBA Victoria) shares practical, field-tested tools from 40+ years helping families worldwide. You’ll use his Thriving Family Business methodology to align expectations, build governance that fits your family, and navigate generational transition with confidence and care.
• Master 5 practical conversations you can use to align your family around a shared vision and reduce simmering resentment
• Discover the #1 mistake families make in succession—and how you can avoid it before it costs you trust, talent, or control
• Learn how you can create clear roles, boundaries, and decision rights so your business runs faster with less friction
• Unlock a simple governance structure you can tailor to your family (meetings, rules, and accountability that actually stick)
• Gain 7 warning signs your family culture is drifting toward conflict—and what you can do this week to reset it
• Uncover how you can bring the next generation in with purpose, standards, and a pathway—not entitlement or confusion
• Discover how you can handle sensitive topics (pay, ownership, performance, and fairness) without damaging relationships
This book is for founders preparing for succession, siblings sharing leadership, in-laws and partners navigating complexity, and next-generation family members who want to contribute without getting trapped in old patterns.
