The founders of Mid-Day Squares, a family-run business, have adopted a unique approach to maintaining their partnership by committing to therapy every 7 to 10 days. This decision, made at the outset of their venture, was aimed at preventing the common pitfalls faced by family businesses, such as strained relationships and communication breakdowns. Over nearly eight years, they have found that these therapy sessions, lasting one to two hours, allow them to address strategic disagreements, personal challenges, and how they each contribute to the business. By treating therapy as a core operating expense, they prioritize alignment and trust, which are essential for effective collaboration. This practice has not only improved their professional interactions but has also strengthened their personal relationships. While this approach may not suit every partnership, the founders emphasize the importance of proactive communication to prevent misalignment and protect both business and personal relationships.
