THE BEST ADVICE
Every parent passes on the wisdom of their years to their sons or daughters, whether they want to hear it or not. In this case of running the family business, those pearls are keys to success.
So when Charles Bongiorno turned over the family business to his son, Chuck, what advice did he give the new owner? "Be more patient than your father," Charles Bongiorno says, "My impatience and intolerance to half-hearted work probably drove a lot of people away from the business over the years. For those who understood what work is, I didn't offend them as those who might have just been here for a job."
