Update- Business Succession Just imagine if you’re the last member to manage a family dynasty started 160 years ago. The Fairfax Family sold its final 9.7% in Fairfax Media yesterday for $194.6 million. Then in addition to ending the family dynasty you also know that you could have sold the business for well over $1 billion back in 2007. How would you feel? The lesson is two fold. Firslty, if you own a business then you must continue to innovate in order to grow the business otherwise you could find yourself losing 80% or more of your wealth. Secondly, family is very often NOT the best choice for continuing the innovation required to grow the business.
