Shots Fired EP4

Business and entrepreneurship is not always easy. Mix in family on top of that, and things can get intense. What do you do then? That’s what Kim and Darren are discussing on today’s episode. When family members are involved in business disagreements, everyone involved will say that family is more important than money. It’s true for Kim and Darren. It doesn’t mean that people will always act that way. A couple of weeks ago, a family member made accusations which led to miscommunications. People were making up things, without asking questions or looking for an explanation over accusations. Darren shares that it was surprising and hurtful because it ended up creating a legal issue. Saying “it’s not personal it’s business” didn’t help. Darren said “When it’s family, it’s never just business. It’s personal. Here’s what they discuss: ·        How to separate business and personal and know the difference. ·        Losing perspective when you are always focused and working in the business. ·        Intentions matter. Are people acting from a malicious place? Are they fearful? Kim shares how the mental aspect of knowing that people hold negative opinions takes a toll. It’s hard when people in the family share a negative story. How do you repair those relationships especially when it’s family? How do you have empathy for their feelings while protecting your own? At the end of the day, we’re all humans with feelings and emotions. There’s a desire to mend fences and rebuild trust. Darren wants to take one step at a time. Meanwhile, there’s a growing business to attend to! Email: :[e-mail]  Get the Bubble Bath Boardroom Weekly Email Here   Connect on Instagram – THE HIEBERTS Learn more about your ad choices.
