I have a question for you. We are similar in some ways, let me tell you my background quickly.

I work with my father now, at the family business. We are an agent for textiles companies. Example, River Island/Next comes to us with orders and we take those orders and get them made by one of the many factories we are partnered with.

Now, I'm second generation and I am 24 years old. I have completed my university degree and I will most probably one day inherit the business. I'm working alongside my cousin right now. We don't require that many people to run the business itself, but it's growing quickly.

My question for you is, did you have any doubts about joining the family business?

At first, I did. And I still do, to some aspect. I'm doing it, because it's a strong business and it's a family business. But I don't intend to keep it much later on. I have things that I want to do myself. I wasn't keen on taking on the family business.

How did you rationalize you joining the family business? Did you not have any other dreams for your life?

EDIT: Also realized you are Turkish and you operate in Turkey. My family is Turkish as well but we operate in the UK.

My sentiments exactly there.

We are based in the UK, but I'll send you a PM now.
