1. Don't enter the family business out of obligation
If you choose to join your family business, make sure to carve out the right niche for yourself so that you can thrive—you won't make it if you try to be someone you aren't, or if you try to do work that is not suited to you. For as much as it might seem as though you were made for this, or that this is your destiny, it might not be. Be yourself—it’s the only way for you to succeed, and you’re the only person who can know and create the conditions for success.
