How a Board Meeting Brought My Family Closer

A parent holds formal board meetings with family to teach business, money management, and life skills in a setting where everyone actually listens. It turns out this captive audience becomes a way to pass on what schools don't teach and bring the family closer.

What I love about doing the board meeting is it gives you an opportunity to make an impact on the lives of your closest loved ones. Because now you have them captive for this board meeting. And you're going to teach them about your business, your passion, financial literacy. About money. How many families don't talk enough about money? You've got to teach our kids the street smarts that you don't learn in school. And the family board is that little incubator to do this. So powerful, so fun.
