But hold on! This paradigm is only true under two conditions. The first concerns the parity with the quality of the product while the second has something to do with the market acceptance of the service provider.

But one cannot make a difference if one is not different.

In  an enterprising family, the COOs do not simply wait for the succession to take effect nor do they want to be forced to be an employee/executive in the family firm.

Just like our advice to the class of 2003, we hurl this challenge to the class of 2004. Why not be future employers? Be the start-up entrepreneur of today, so you can be the employer of the future.
