Family business owners often tell me how much they have to do, how responsible they feel for the family business, managing the business as a steward for the next generation, wanting to do better than their predecessors and enhance the benefits for all the stakeholders but there should always be time made for reflection, personal time, and to make sure that you don't forget to live and 'enjoy the present.'
