Taking over the family business? Expect less Hallmark, more stress
Joining Mom and Dad can work as long as you know what you’re bringing – and what you’re giving up
It happens all the time. And not just in Hallmark movies.
The son or the daughter pooh-poohs their family business and moves away from the heartland to pursue their fortune in New York or Chicago. Then – penniless and more than a little hungover – they return to their home town, hat in hand.
