What History Teaches About Growth & Family

The Good Sons Club views family growth from the perspective of growing the extended family's ability to act as a unit. A family unit that provides an ever greater amount of mutual aid and support. A family unit which grows in the ability to deal with adversity and create opportunity.

History provides many examples of families that have sustained long periods of such growth. The Medici, The Rockefeller, The Rothschild and others.

It is too easy to dwell on the excesses and failings of these historic families. This is unfortunate. As they all illustrate the power of dynastic thinking.

The challenge is to weed out the failings and nurture the wisdom from their history.
