So why is it that you can get more advice and help from strangers in business than wealthy family members, not necessarily parents? Is it the old adage that they don't want you to outshine them? I have several wealthy family members, close cousins etc., not parents, and I have received more contacts and business advice from total strangers, that I have built rapport with, than I ever did from them. I moved on to other mentors years ago but it is a little puzzling. You think family is there to help, but in business I have not found it to be the case. Also, family will screw you over before others will, seems contradictory but I have seen it many times; they somehow feel that they can get away with bullsh*t somehow.


*I advise people to never do business with friends or family, unless maybe they are your parents, you probably wont get anywhere. What you are looking for is to make contacts with who they do business with. Look for friends of family and friends of friends, your really two degrees separated in this regard. Just my two cents.
