When the third-generation furniture business has drained your mind

And you're 50% owner but not consulted

Do you recognize this situation?

• Third-generation furniture business, significant revenue
• 50% owner, but you don't know the profit
• "Too many hours at desk, mind truly exhausted"
• Not consulted on important decisions
• You want to take back control

The trap of power without control

You're 50% owner.

Family furniture business.
Third generation.
Significant revenue.

But you don't know how much profit you make.

"I DON'T KNOW."

And debts?
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS."

The company management system?
You don't use it.
You're always reminded of this.
Marco and the others manage it.

You're owner without power.

And inside:
Mentally exhausted.
Too many hours at desk.
At night you think about clients.
The day off no longer exists.

You're not tired of work.
You're exhausted from lack of control.

Why it happens

There's a type of choice that seems smart.

"I'll take care of the beautiful part."
Design, sales, clients.
Creativity.

"Others manage the rest."
Numbers, management system, administration.
The boring part.

But who controls the money controls the company.

Marco enters everything in the management system.
Invoices, orders, database.
You always leave this part behind.

Result:
You work sixty hours a week.
But don't know how much you earn.

Not consulted on important decisions.

50% owner.
20% power.

The method

Regain financial control

Learn the management system thoroughly.
One hour a day for thirty days.
At the end you must be able to answer:
How much profit? How much debt? Which clients are profitable?

You can't be owner without knowing.

Reestablish decision parity

Mandatory weekly meeting.
All major expenses require consent.
All strategic decisions go through both.

If you're 50% owner, you have 50% veto right.

Delegate repetitive, keep high value

Standard projects: you delegate.
Complex projects: you.
Premium clients: you.
Routine: them.

From sixty hours to forty.
With fresh mind for what matters.

Diversify with criteria

Four hundred square meters unused.
Shop in Pieve.
Can become something else.

But first: regain control of what you have.
Then expand.

Rebalance work and life

Monday closed: zero work.
One completely free weekend per month.
Delegate everything that drains.

Not negotiable.

What changes after

You know how much you earn.

Profit is no longer "I DON'T KNOW".
It's a number.
And you can decide based on data, not feelings.

You're consulted.

Important decisions go through you.
Significant expenses you approve.
No longer passive.
Active.

Your mind returns fresh.

Not because you're younger.
But because you do fewer hours on things you don't love.
Projects that excite you: those you do.
Repetitive projects: delegated.

You can diversify.

Unused spaces become something else.
New income.
Furniture business is no longer all income.

And finally:

Coming to work you feel good, not oppressed.

Not because work has changed.
But because YOU have regained control of YOUR company.

50% owner.
50% power.
