In fact,statistics show that only one-third of all family businesses aresuccessfully transferred to the next generation and only  aretransferred onto the third generation. Many family businessconsultants say the primary reason for this low survival rate isthe failure to develop and effectively plan for the transfer ofownership and management of the closely held family business.

Our family'sfaith and foundation is transferred to us by other, usuallyolder, family members, and is important to us as we carve outour place in the big world. The most obvious and sometimes mostdifficult way to create a family identity is by taking the timeto talk to our children, really talk to them, at length, aboutourselves, our family growing up, and what their grandparentsand great grandparents were like.

In spite of what the situations have been - we have to learn to hold onto our peace. Going pass peace will cause frustration and a lot of time results in a moment of resentment. Having our buttons pushed is not a pleasant thing, however continually speaking God's Word to any mountain in our life, will allow maturity in that area of our life. The Word is the beginning of everything! Planting the Word in our mouth and our heart results in transformation.When we learn to hold onto our peace, it is a sure sign of maturity and growth. Everyday is not going to be the same. The enemy will surely try his game. Even if it results in an unpleasant situation, we have to remind ourselves who we are in Christ. We can't let condemnation take root in our life. Holding onto our peace will allow us to go to another level. It will cause advancements and promotions to...]]></content:encoded>
