We work really well together! mrs. wagon on "Would you go into business with your sibling?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-into-business-with-your-sibling#post-115514 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 12:39:22 +0000 mrs. wagon 115514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Haha never! We'd fight way too much. I would definitely consider working with or going into business with Wagon Sr. though. I know a lot of people advise against it but we have always worked well together. mediagirl on "Would you go into business with your sibling?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-into-business-with-your-sibling#post-115448 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 11:58:54 +0000 mediagirl 115448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @chopsuey119: that is exciting!! I could never do it. My brother and I have never seen eye to eye on anything in our lives. We are way too different to be able to do anything together. singingbee on "Would you go into business with your sibling?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-into-business-with-your-sibling#post-115439 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 11:53:10 +0000 singingbee 115439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would with some, but not all 3. kml636 on "Would you go into business with your sibling?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-into-business-with-your-sibling#post-115380 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 11:07:44 +0000 kml636 115380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ no way in hell, but if my siblings were different, I would consider it. tequiero21 on "Would you go into business with your sibling?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-into-business-with-your-sibling#post-115351 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 10:34:26 +0000 tequiero21 115351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope! We get along great now, but I don't think we'd be able to work together. We're both too stubborn. calsmom on "Would you go into business with your sibling?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-into-business-with-your-sibling#post-115327 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 10:18:25 +0000 calsmom 115327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No way! I love my siblings to death, but that would be a recipe for a nightmare :P Mrs. Pickle on "Would you go into business with your sibling?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-into-business-with-your-sibling#post-115324 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 10:17:10 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 115324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My brother's... No way! But I would with my sister. I also would with my huband's siblings.

We get along really well, and we think the same way. Oh yeah, and he's incredibly smart and successful. My husband's sister.... probably not. Not because she's not smart or good with money, but just because I think we think differently and would probably often disagree on the best course of action.

I don’t believe in engaging in any business dealings with family or friends. Too often things go wrong, and close relationships are ruined. I keep business and personal separate. lilteacherbee on "Would you go into business with your sibling?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-into-business-with-your-sibling#post-115274 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 09:48:57 +0000 lilteacherbee 115274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, I'd go into business with my sister. We (DH, my sister, and I ) are all teachers so we've joked about opening our own little school.

We would survive a year of business together! Neither of my sisters are "leaders" and I have a feeling 90% of the responsibility would land on me, and I think this would cause some resentment.

My BIL, no. My BIL makes good money but is a bachelor and likes to splurge on anything! eeh on "Would you go into business with your sibling?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-into-business-with-your-sibling#post-115267 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 09:43:02 +0000 eeh 115267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Absolutely, positively not. My sister and I get along okay most of the time but she is terrible at working with other people (unless they're strangers..she's professional in her work environment, just not with people she knows like family), answering/returning calls, being considerate of other people's time and effort, etc. I think in general it's a risky idea to go into business with friends and family. Before I would ever do it there would have to be strict legal parameters established to protect everyone involved. I've seen these types of business ventures go horribly, horribly wrong. pelikila on "Would you go into business with your sibling?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-into-business-with-your-sibling#post-115245 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 09:32:53 +0000 pelikila 115245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Just as I could never work with my husband in a professional setting, nor could I work with my sister. As much as I love them, it wouldn't be smart for our relationships. heffalump on "Would you go into business with your sibling?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-into-business-with-your-sibling#post-115242 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 09:31:40 +0000 heffalump 115242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My sister, yes.

My BIL who passed away, yes. We actually talked about it for a while. The current BIL that is still alive...no. chopsuey on "Would you go into business with your sibling?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-into-business-with-your-sibling#post-115237 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 09:29:45 +0000 chopsuey 115237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would! :) DH and his brother started a business venture together--exciting stuff!
