Entrepreneurs and family businesspeople who enjoy long-term business success all follow a common procedure: they continually reinvent themselves, their businesses and, when relevant, their families, according to Lloyd Shefsky in his book Invent Reinvent Thrive: The Keys to Success for Any Start-Up, Entrepreneur or Family Business. While this sounds challenging, it is quite achievable because successful reinvention normally occurs one small step at a time.
My full review of the book is available at my business book reviews website.
