It’s a constant juggling act – trying to maintain those delicate family ties while ensuring your business thrives.
But today, I want to share with you a story that’s not just about me but about how we can all master this intricate dance.
I’m Steve Fultz…
And my life has been intertwined with family businesses from the very beginning.
You could say entrepreneurship runs in my blood.
I grew up in a family where hard work and entrepreneurship were the order of the day.
Those early lessons shaped me in ways I couldn’t have imagined.
Despite my father’s initial advice for me to explore other career options…
My younger brother, Brian, and I had a secret dream…
We wanted to take the reins of our family’s business.
It was a dream that took many years of preparation before it became a reality.
Those four years of overlap with my dad being there…
Filled with strategic planning…
Paved the way for a seamless transition when our father retired.
But my journey doesn’t stop there.
From significantly increasing our family business’s sales…
To becoming a trusted partner in various ventures…
I’ve had my fair share of challenges and triumphs.
Out of these diverse experiences…
I founded “Family Business Matters,” – a coaching and consulting company dedicated to supporting second-generation family business owners.
Whether it’s asset planning, exit strategies, mergers, acquisitions, or cost reduction…
I’ve been there, done that, and I’m here to help you navigate the complex world of family businesses.
So now, I’m extending my hand to you…
I want to help you take better control of your business and your life.
Whether you’re a founder looking to pass the torch or a second-generation leader ready to step up…
I have the knowledge, experience, and passion to be your guide.
Are you ready to make your family business thrive?
