Summer is the time for taking some rest, relaxation and sometimes seeking adventure.

Having just returned from a 2 generation 12 day Iceland journey – I can now quietly reflect on the frenetic time together. This was a great opportunity for our family to enjoy the company of each other. How often can one have the rare luxury of 24/7 together.  Is this forced family fun time?

Our oft times hectic lives do not afford this same amount of time together, good and bad. The good – shared interesting experiences, problem solving together and just sharing some laughs and stories. The challenges: I only got us lost in each city numerous times as we blindly navigated the wandering paths and mountains, both walking and driving. All fun in hindsight which added to the adventure.

Remember in family enterprises, the main goal should be to maintain the “familiness” of our relationships, not just do business and make money.

Have you planned your summer getaway yet?
