Why Working with Friends and Family Works:

Trust: You already have a connection as a friend or relative … You already know each other’s stories

Familiarity: You know each other and you still want to entertain the idea of partnership – that says a lot right there

Communication: You’re used to making plans and dealing with problems

“That’s the greatest strength – having my sisters to give me encouragement, say my ideas are ok. In areas where I’m weak, my sisters make up for it. We’re stronger as a whole.”

- Angella Ahn, The Ahn Trio, internationally known chamber music group made up of three sisters
