Family Business

23-Jan-2026
Are you using your family’s success to empower the next generation, or are you unintentionally holding them back? Successful families often aim to open doors for their children through wealth and opportunity. However, when support is misused, it can quietly weaken motivation, resilience, and entrepreneurial drive.
Join us in this insightful YPO session, designed to equip parents with best practices and current research from psychology, entrepreneurship, and family business. Together, we will explore how well-meaning decisions can sometimes hinder progress and what families can do instead. The discussion will highlight five practical, research-backed steps families can take to foster independence, confidence, and an entrepreneurial mindset in their children. YPOers will also learn how to identify warning signs that financial support may be limiting personal growth or dampening ambition.
You will leave this session with:
• Hidden Warning Signs: How to recognize when wealth and opportunity are doing more harm than good.
• Five Proven Steps: A practical roadmap for strengthening resilience, motivation, and entrepreneurial thinking.
• A New Family Framework: Reframing money, access, and expectations to encourage purpose, ownership, and independence.
Build strength, not dependence, in the next generation.
