Complete Idiot’s Guide to a Successful Family Business
H
ere’s what it says online at Amazon, but I’d take it with a grain of salt. Except for the cover which has a photo of the world’s most famous cymbals by the world’s most famous cymbal-makers:
“Family businesses are the backbone of any economy, but they can present a host of challenges that can affect their chances of success. The Complete Idiot’s Guide® to a Successful Family Business is the most current and comprehensive book that tells the proprietors of family concerns how to deal with such unique issues, including expansion beyond the original family business, and family versus hired management.”
My suggestions — if this series continues:
- Complete Idiot’s Guide to Myself – will someone please write this!
- Complete Idiot’s Guide to Flugelhorns – surely someone needs this information.
- Complete Idiot’s Guide to Priming the Pump – this late 1800 expression refers to pouring liquid into a pump to expel air and make the pump work. It seems to me that versions of this pumping technique could cure various “on and on” syndromes. Also, I can think of a lot of people who need this treatment and more idiots who should know how to do it.
