Marilyns Twilight PATRICIA NEWCOMB by Tara Hanks At the core of her she was really strong and that was something we tended to forget because she seemed so vulnerable and one always felt it necessary to watch out for her Pat Newcomb Born on July 9 1930 just four years after her future employer Marilyn Monroe Margot Patricia Newcombs background could not have been more incongruous She was the granddaughter of an eminent Washington judge and lived in Maryland as a child before moving to Los Angeles in 1946 Her mother was a social worker while her father represented the business interests of several leading figures in the coal industry including the real estate holdings of George Skakel and his family on the West Coast Skakels daughter Ethel would marry Robert F Kennedy in 1950 While majoring in psychology at Mills College Marilyn on the other hand had known poverty and hardship from an early age Even at the height of her career she was still affected by the emotional scars of her childhood She had few female friends and almost none of her own age What began as a professional relationship grew into a much deeper bond And while both were prone to internal conflicts together they found new ways to navigate Hollywoods ailing studio system just as the Kennedys would revitalise American politics Pat first met Marilyn in 1956 when she was assigned to the star as a publicist during filming of Bus Stop However this initial association ended badly According to Fred Lawrence Guiles author of Legend The Life and Death of Marilyn Monroe Marilyn became angry when Pat flirted with a man she liked and Pat was quickly replaced This seems questionable however as Marilyn was already involved with Arthur Miller whom she would soon marry In 1960 Marilyns longterm publicist Rupert Allan moved to Monaco to represent Princess Grace and his employer Arthur P Jacobs suggested that Marilyn hire Pat Newcomb Pat reentered Marilyns life just as Marilyn split from Arthur Miller Despite their alleged falling out Marilyn voiced no objections Pats first task was to accompany Marilyn when she left her New York apartment after news of the separation broke Pat ushered a pale shaky Marilyn wearing a scarf and dark glasses into a waiting car and informed reporters that her client would not be answering questions She would spend Christmas with Marilyn and her exhusband Joe DiMaggio even giving her publicist a mink coat After Christmas Pat wrote Marilyn a heartfelt letter expressing her hopes that they would be friends for life Over the next two years she would provide Pat with an automobile and reportedly passed on to Pat the emerald earrings that had been a gift from Frank Sinatra Pat in turn is said to have given Marilyn a Maltese poodle Marilyn named the dog Maf a nod to Sinatras rumoured mob connections Others have claimed Maf was a gift from Sinatra himself Pat was at Marilyns side during many key moments the divorce hearing which she cleverly timed to coincide with President Kennedys inauguration thus ensuring minimal publicity leaving hospital after a breakdown and subsequent illness and more happily on a short holiday in Mexico Prior to the 1960 election Marilyn although politically astute had apparently shown little interest in John F Kennedy dismissing him as too inexperienced But like many Americans she soon warmed to his youth and charisma It is generally thought that they first met in late 1961 Marilyn was also friendly with his sister Patricia wife of actor Peter Lawford In February 1962 Marilyn met his brother Bobby now Attorney General over dinner at the Lawford home Pat Newcomb accompanied her that evening Pat was known for her extreme loyalty and protectiveness towards Marilyn and some likened their relationship to that of sisters Susan Strasberg recalled that Marilyn called Pat Sybil for sibling rivalry Whereas Marilyns other confidantes were usually older often acting like surrogate parents Pat was of her own generation and shared many of her progressive attitudes towards racial sexual and class equality Soon after production of Somethings Got to Give began Marilyn fell ill with acute sinusitis leading to prolonged absences from the set Director George Cukor complained that he had to deal with Pat before speaking to Marilyn By May 1962 Twentieth CenturyFox had withdrawn permission for Marilyn to perform at John F Kennedys birthday gala at Madison Square Garden But Marilyn defied their orders and flew to New York with Pat While Marilyn was away Marilyns psychiatrist Dr Ralph Greenson also heavily embroiled in Marilyns life and career left for a vacation in Europe Upon her returnMarilyn became depressed and on Saturday June 2nd Greensons partner Dr Milton Wexler confiscated pill bottles from her nightstand That weekend Pat stayed with Marilyn even sleeping at the foot of her bed Some have claimed she gave Valium to Marilyn to ease her withdrawal symptoms but Pat denied this Pat had never liked Dr Greenson whom she thought was too interfering or Mrs Murray whom Greenson had recommended to Marilyn as a housekeeper Pat suspected that Mrs Murray had been planted by Greenson to spy on Marilyn Greenson seemed suspicious of Marilyns friends including Pat In a letter to a colleague Greenson wrote that Marilyn had been angered when Pat dyed her hair the same shade as hers and insisted she have it darkened Pat confirmed this was true and Marilyn had reacted similarly when costars were blonder than herself even demanding that her hairdresser George Masters darken his hair after they were likened to twins It seems an uncharacteristic fit of pique for Marilyn But she was insecure and concerned about her image especially after recent career battles Greenson however construed it as a fear of lesbian advances which Pat also denied Marilyn had many gay friends and was clearly not homophobic But she had encountered many predatory types in Hollywood and was frequently unsure of whom to trust Some in her inner circle including Pat and Ralph Roberts Marilyns masseur have said that she also felt Greenson was too controlling Later that month Fox fired Marilyn Pat defended her robustly and engineereda series of highprofile magazine interviews garnering public sympathy for Marilyn and paving the way for her eventual reinstatement However the studio insisted that Marilyns entourage including Paula Strasberg Dr Greenson and Pat should be kept off the set when production recommenced On Friday August 3rd Pat was a guest at Marilyns new bungalow in a quiet suburb ofLos Angeles Pat was suffering from bronchitis and said that Marilyn insisted she stay the night Some sources have stated that the two women dined out with Peter Lawford that evening while others contend that Marilyn ordered food to be brought to the house Next morning Marilyn woke early after sleeping badly She had been plagued by insomnia for most of her adult life so this was not unusual Housekeeper Eunice Murray recalled that Marilyn seemed irritable especially when Pat slept until noon A day before Marilyns physician had prescribed sedatives and it is possible that Marilyn may have let Pat take one but this has never been confirmed At lunchtime Pat joined Marilyn by the pool and Mrs Murray heard them bickering It seems unlikely that Marilyn was angry merely because Pat had slept well so it may have been about something else perhaps a workrelated matter or else something more personal She was furious its true Pat told Anthony Summers But I think that she was also furious about something else I think there was a lot more not related to me that I dont know about Mrs Murray cooked lunch for the two women but Marilyn wasnt hungry It is at this point that the course of events becomes unclear Although she didnt mention it in early interviews Mrs Murray would later claim that Bobby Kennedy and Peter Lawford arrived apparently unannounced at the house early that afternoon Many critics dispute this because Bobby was supposedly with his family at a ranch outside San Francisco He was even photographed at the ranch although Peter Lawfords neighbour Ward Woods recalled seeing Bobby that day Pat has denied outright that Bobby visited Marilyn Mrs Murray went on to say that Bobbys appearance upset Marilyn who was still in her dressing gown and unprepared for visitors The housekeeper was sent out on an errand and said that when she returned the men had left and Pat was trying to comfort a distraught Marilyn Mrs Murray called Marilyns psychiatrist Dr Ralph Greenson who disappeared with Marilyn into her bedroom Pat told Donald Spoto author of Marilyn Monroe The Biography that Dr Greenson emerged from Marilyns bedroom after an hour or so and informed Pat that Marilyn had asked for her to leave Pat was reluctant at first suspecting that it was really Greenson who wanted her out not Marilyn but with her bronchitis getting steadily worse she eventually agreed to go When Pat first heard of Marilyns death is unclear when the police arrived in the early hours of Sunday August 5th She was wearing pajamas and appeared hysterical When the press gathered outside Pat ran out in a fury screaming Keep shooting vultures When asked how she was feeling Pat retorted How would you feel if your best friend died In the following days she worked tirelessly to field press inquiries But after her outburst Arthur Jacobs had decided to fire her Pat was among the guests at Marilyns funeral on August 8th and photographs show her weeping openly Another picture taken just a week later shows Pat in a lighter mood She is on a yacht with members of the Kennedy family including the President and Peter Lawford and she is laughing seemingly relaxed This photo was printed in Donald Wolfes The Final Days of Marilyn Monroe where it was also suggested that Pat was involved in a conspiracy to cover up the real circumstances of Marilyns death murder on behalf of the Kennedys In September Pat travelled to Europe for a few months Upon her return Bobby Kennedy gave her a job in Washington She helped to take care of the Presidents children in the days after his assassination and was active in Bobby Kennedys 1964 senatorial campaign She also spent time in Hollywood representing Arlene Dahl Natalie Wood and Barbara Streisand In 1970 Pat campaigned for the Democratic Party in Washington under R Sargent Shriver husband of Eunice Kennedy She later became a VicePresident at MGM Her husband of many years producer and agent Gareth Wigan died in 2010 Marilyn paid me my salary during her lifetime Pat told columnist Mike Connolly in 1962 and Im not going to write any postmortems about my best friend True to her word she declined all offers to publish a memoir of her time with Marilyn This may seem an odd stance for a woman whose entire career has been devoted to maintaining the public image of celebrities like Marilyn Monroe However she has given interviews to several biographers including Spoto Summers and Lois Banner She has also discussed Marilyn privately with others including columnist Liz Smith and author Gary VitaccoRobles In 1973 Pat was interviewed by Robert Slatzer who who has become notorious for his fabricated claim that he secretly married Marilyn Slatzer also contributed to the many conspiracy theories about Marilyn and the Kennedys While Pat may not have been aware of Slatzers sensationalist agenda and probably came to regret their brief association it seems odd that someone wishing to cover up a murder would have spoken to Slatzer at all Some fans feel strongly that Pat should speak out to set the record straight as every year the rumours about Marilyn and her untimely demise seem to grow more lurid Others further in their criticism of Newcomb believe that with her links to the Kennedys she is still protecting them and may know more about Marilyns death than she has ever admitted An alternative view might be that Pat was devoted to Marilyn while she was alive and remains so long after her death Friends of Pat have said she often became deeply attached to the people she worked for Perhaps she still cares for Marilyn in the same way Pat may finally

HIP About HIP History of HIP and Past Results HIP 20 Proposal Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions What is HIP The Healthy Indiana Plan is the state of Indianas signature consumerdriven health coverage program for nondisabled Hoosiers ages 1964 HIP continues to build on the successes of the original design and lessons learned since initial implementation in 2008 HIP provides incentives for members to take personal responsibility for their health Through HIP Indiana works to Provide quality coverage choices for Hoosiers Provide additional substance use disorder services to address the opioid crisis Improve the health status of Hoosiers Provide health coverage to lowincome Hoosiers and ensure an adequate provider network for both HIP and Medicaid enrollees Empower participants to make cost and qualityconscious health care decisions Create pathways to jobs that promote independence from public assistance Ensure that HIP is fiscally sustainable How does HIP coverage work In the HIP program in each calendar year the first 2500 of a members medical expenses for covered benefits are paid with a special savings account called a Personal Wellness and Responsibility POWER account The state will pay most of this amount but the member is also responsible for paying a small portion of their initial health care costs The members portion is an affordable monthly contribution based on income The contribution that will be one of five affordable amounts between 1 and 20 Managing your account well and getting preventive care can reduce your future costs If your annual health care expenses are less than 2500 per year you may rollover your remaining contributions to reduce your monthly payment for the next year You can also have the amount of your reduction doubled if you complete preventive services If your annual health care expenses are more than 2500 the first 2500 is covered by your POWER account and expenses for additional health services are fully covered at no additional cost to you In HIP your contributions to your POWER account will be yours If you choose to leave the program early your contributions not spent on health care costs will be returned to you A penalty is deducted if an individual is disenrolled due to nonpayment or withdrawing from the program without having other coverage Who is eligible for the Healthy Indiana Plan The Healthy Indiana Plan covers Indiana residents between the ages of 19 and 64 whose family incomes are less than approximately 138 percent of the federal poverty level and who arent eligible for Medicare or another Medicaid category Click here to access a calculator that will help you determine if you are eligible for HIP and will estimate your monthly POWER account contribution What are the benefits of HIP Plus The HIP Plus program provides comprehensive benefits including vision dental and chiropractic services for a low predictable monthly cost With HIP Plus members do not pay every time they visit a doctor or fill a prescription HIP Plus allows members to make a monthly contribution to your POWER account based on income This contribution can be split when spouses are both enrolled in HIP Contribution amounts may be higher for smokers The only other cost you may have for health care in HIP Plus is a payment of 8 if you visit the Emergency Room when you dont have an Click here to find monthly contribution amounts How do I apply Applications are available online or by mail or can be picked up at any Division of Family Resources DFR office Call 1877GETHIP9 to learn more about the application process or click here to find your local DFR office Can the member receive help paying for their required contribution Employers and nonprofit organizations can contribute to the individuals required monthly contribution up to the full contribution amount Total contributions may not exceed the members projected required annual contribution to their POWER account How do I find a provider Can I keep my doctor If you are an enrolled HIP member you should call your health plan Anthem CareSource MDwise or MHS or go online to their website to research which providers are in that health plans network Members can also call 1877GETHIP9 and ask If you are just joining HIP and want to make sure you choose a health plan that includes your doctor call 1877GETHIP9 to discuss your options What are the incentives for managing costs and receiving preventive care The Healthy Indiana Plan empowers members to make important decisions about the cost and quality of their health care As an incentive members who remain in the HIP Plus program can reduce their POWER account contribution amounts after a year in the program based on the amount remaining in their accounts If they receive recommended preventive care services throughout the year the discount will be doubled Members in the HIP Basic plan also have a POWER account but since they are not making contributions the potential amount of their discount for receiving preventive care is lower What are the different plans The Healthy Indiana Plan HIP has two pathways to coverage HIP Plus and HIP Basic HIP Plus The initial plan selection for all members is HIP Plus which offers the best value for members HIP Plus has comprehensive benefits including vision dental and chiropractic services The member pays an affordable monthly POWER account contribution based on income There is no copayment required for receiving services with one exception using the emergency room where there is no true emergency HIP Basic HIP Basic is the fallback option for members with household income less than or equal to 100 percent of the federal poverty level FPL who dont make their POWER account contributions The benefits are reduced The essential health benefits are covered but not vision dental or chiropractic services The member is also required to make a copayment each time he or she receives a health care service such as going to the doctor filling a prescription or staying in the hospital These payments may range from 4 to 8 per doctor visit or prescription filled and may be as high What happens to the POWER account in the Basic Plan Members in the HIP Basic plan will still use the POWER account to cover their 2500 annual deductible but the funds in the account will be contributed entirely by the State HIP Basic plan members will still receive POWER account statements to assist them in managing the account and to increase their awareness of the cost of the health care services they receive Plan comparison Whats the difference between HIP Plus and HIP Basic A key principle of the Healthy Indiana Plan is that it gives members the opportunity to participate in HIP Plus HIP Plus is the initial preferred plan selection for all members and offers the best value To participate in HIP Plus members make affordable monthly contributions into their POWER account based on income In the HIP Plus program members do not pay copayments when they go to the doctor or hospital or fill a prescription The only exception to this is a copayment for going to the emergency room for care when there is not a true emergency HIP Plus provides MORE benefits than the HIP Basic program including vision dental and chiropractic services It also allows more visits for physical speech and occupational therapy and covers additional services like bariatric surgery and Temporomandibular Joint Disorders TMJ treatment With HIP Plus members can get 90day refills on prescriptions and receive medication by mail order Members also receive medication therapy management services that are designed to work closely with their doctors and pharmacies to provide additional assurances that prescription therapies are safe and effective HIP Basic is the fallback option that is available only to members with household incomes less than or equal to the federal poverty level FPL In HIP Basic members make a payment every time they receive a health care service such as going to the doctor filling a prescription or staying in the hospital These payments may range from 4 to 8 per doctor visit or prescription filled and may be as high as 75 per hospital stay HIP Basic can be more expensive than HIP Plus HIP Basic includes all the federally required essential health benefits but does not provide coverage for vision dental or chiropractic services bariatric surgery or Temporomandibular Joint Disorders TMJ HIP Basic benefits also allow fewer visits to physical speech and occupational therapists Unlike HIP Plus HIP Basic has more limited options for getting medication Members are limited to 30day prescription supply and can not order medications by mail When do HIP members select their health plan Members can select their health plan when they apply There are four health plans that serve Healthy Indiana Plan members Anthem CareSource MDwise MHS Click here for a comparison of the available health plans Once a member is approved for HIP he or she will be assigned to the health plan selected on the application If no plan is choose a health plan one will be assigned On an annual basis HIP members have the opportunity to switch to another health plan for the following year A member wishing to change health plans may do so by calling 877GETHIP9 between November 1 and December 15 All changes will be effective January 1st and stay in effect for the next calendar year If a member does not wish to change health plans they do not need to take any action and will automatically stay with their current health plan for the new year What happens if a HIP member becomes pregnant HIP members who are pregnant may keep their HIP coverage for the duration of their pregnancy Pregnant members will have all cost sharing eliminated and will receive additional benefits during their pregnancy including nonemergency transportation A pregnant HIP member must promptly report her pregnancy After reporting a pregnancy pregnant mothers will become HIP Maternity members The member will continue to have a POWER account but will not be required to make payments Pregnant members are eligible to receive incentives for completing preventive care like all other HIP members HIP Maternity members will receive vision dental chiropractic coverage nonemergency transportation and access to additional smoking cessation services designed specifically for pregnant women At the end of her pregnancy additional pregnancy benefits will continue for another 60day postpartum period Pregnant members will continue to not have any cost sharing responsibilities during this period After the 60day period members will transfer from HIP Maternity to HIP Basic to get HIP Plus benefits the member will need to make a POWER account contribution Members will have 60 days to make their POWER account contribution from the start of the HIP Basic benefits Members with income over the federal poverty level who do not pay for Plus will lose eligibility for HIP Basic after 60 days Pregnant women enrolled in Hoosier Healthwise will not be affected by changes to the Healthy Indiana Plan and will continue to receive coverage through Hoosier Healthwise Pregnant women who would otherwise be eligible for HIP but are not enrolled may receive a new member card indicating they are enrolled in HIP Maternity POWER Account What are POWER Accounts A POWER Account is a special savings account that members use to pay for health care Every HIP member has a POWER Account The POWER Account is used to pay for the first 2500 in health care costs The state of Indiana pays for most of the 2500 in the POWER account but the member is responsible for a fixed monthly payment depending on income The member contribution amounts are between 1 and 20 but may be higher for members that smoke When a member makes a POWER account payment they become enrolled in HIP Plus which offers better health coverage including vision dental and chiropractic benefits If annual health care expenses are more than 2500 the first 2500 is covered by the members POWER account and expenses for additional health services over 2500 are fully covered at no additional cost to the member except in the HIP Basic program where the member is responsible for any required copayments Some members can have HIP Basic coverage even if they dont make their monthly payment but in HIP Basic they will have to pay a fee every time they go to the doctor or fill a prescription In HIP Plus monthly POWER account payments are members only health care costs outside of any nonemergency visits to the emergency room Members who leave HIP and return in the same calendar year will still have their same POWER account and health plan The contributions you make to your new POWER account will be yours If you choose to leave the program early your contributions not spent on health care costs may be returned to you Managing your account well and getting preventive care can reduce your future costs In HIP if your annual health care expenses are less than 2500 per year you may rollover your remaining contributions to reduce your monthly payment for the next year You can also double your reduction if you complete preventive services What are the contribution amounts Monthly POWER account contributions are determined by family income compared to the federal poverty level as shown below Members who indicate that they are tobacco users during the plan selection period in the fall may be subject to an increased contribution amount in the following year if they are still smoking FPL Monthly PAC Single Individual Monthly PAC Spouses PAC with Tobacco Surcharge Spouse PAC when one has tobacco surcharge Spouse PAC when both have tobacco surcharge each 22 100 100 150 100 150 150 2350 500 250 750 250 375 375 5175 1000 500 1500 500 750 750 76100 1500 750 225 750 1125 1125 101138 2000 1000 3000 1000 1500 1500 Federal poverty levels are based on income and family size and contribution amounts for all family sizes can be calculated using this tool As long as members make their required monthly POWER account contributions they will have no other costs The only exception to this is a charge of 8 if a member goes to the hospital emergency room for a nonemergency Each month the members health plan will send a monthly statement showing how much is left in their POWER account Why is it important to make POWER account contributions POWER account contributions are a key part of the Healthy Indiana Plan Members who make POWER account contributions ontime each month participate in HIP Plus where they have better benefits and predictable costs Members with incomes above the poverty level for example 12140 a year for an individual 16460 for a couple or 25100 for a family of four in 2018 that choose not to make their POWER account contributions will be removed from the program and not be allowed to reenroll for six months This enrollment lockout will not apply if the member is medically frail or residing in Members who have incomes below the federal poverty level who do not make their contributions will be moved to the HIP Basic plan HIP Basic does not cover vision dental or chiropractic services and could be more expensive HIP Basic requires members to make a small payment called a copayment each time they go to the doctor or hospital except for preventive care or family planning services The HIP Basic plan will charge copayments for health care services Unlike POWER account contributions which belong to the member and could be returned if the member leaves the program early copays can not be returned to the member HIP Basic members will be given the opportunity to reenroll in HIP Plus at the end of their annual cycle or plan year defined by their enrollment date HIP Basic members also receive an opportunity to move to HIP Plus if they earned rollover in the prior calendar year Where and how can you pay your POWER account contribution POWER account contributions are paid directly to the members health plan Anthem MDwise CareSource or MHS Members will receive information from their health plans about the various ways POWER account contributions can be paid These include by mail over the phone online and via payroll deduction through the members employer Each health plan also has designated retail locations around the state where you can make your payment in person Call your health plan for details about these options and locations How do I monitor my POWER account Members receive monthly statements that show how much money is remaining in the POWER account Members who manage their health and POWER accounts wisely could still have money in their accounts after a year of coverage These remaining funds can be used to lower POWER account contributions for the next year of coverage Every calendar year members get a new 2500 POWER account amount to pay for HIP covered medical expenses What is Fast Track Fast Track is a payment option that allows eligible Hoosiers to expedite the start of their coverage in the HIP Plus program Fast Track allows members to make a 10 payment while their application is being processed The 10 payment goes toward the members first POWER account contribution If a member makes a Fast Track payment and is eligible for HIP their HIP Plus coverage will begin the first of the month in which they made the Fast Track payment To learn more about Fast Track payments click here Medically Frail Will my health conditions affect the coverage I receive Enhanced benefits are available to individuals whose health status qualifies them as medically frail As defined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services CMS an individual will be considered medically frail if he or she has one or more of the following Disabling mental disorder A chronic substance abuse disorder Serious and complex medical conditions Physical intellectual or developmental disability that significantly impair the individuals ability to perform one or more activities of daily living or A disability determination based on Social Security Administration criteria Click here to see a list of conditions that may qualify you as medically frail If you have a condition disorder or disability as described above you receive additional benefits called the HIP State Plan benefits The HIP State Plan benefits grant you comprehensive coverage including vision dental nonemergency transportation chiropractic services and Medicaid Rehabilitation Option services

FAMILY BUSINESS 7 Rules for Avoiding Conflicts of Interest in a Family Business Dealing with employees on a personal level can wreak havoc in a small or familyowned business Heres how you can keep from making some common missteps By Carolyn M Brown Conflicts are part of a normal experience for many small startups and familyowned businesses But even more so when those businesses dont follow a formal management structure that encompasses standard policies and practices Starting out most businesses have an informal management style says Don Schwerzler a family business expert in Lawrenceville Georgia But this can actually inhibit the growth and profitability of the businessa kind of glass ceiling that keeps the family business from reaching its true potential he says It also impedes conflict resolution When it comes to conflicts of interest in family businesses Schwerzler believes these matters are more difficult to resolve because there are three levels of interests at playfamily issues business issues and ownership issues A dispute that occurs in one area can quickly cascade into the other areas If you are involved in a family business where everyday seems like a battlefield then you should consider outside counsel he suggests Seek out a mediator or consultantfamily business therapists much like a marriage counselorto help deal with family feuds clashes about business strategy and decisions about succession By understanding the family Schwerzler says that every family business is unique and complex in its own way so boiler plate solutions dont always work Still there are common rules of engagement for handling employees who are related by blood or marriage Here are seven rules to follow to help you stave off some family business blunders Rule No 1 Dont put family members on the payroll if theyre not working in the company or cant make a real contribution to the business advise SCORE small business counselors In a startup or family business everybody does everything But this is where a lot of conflicts occur Make sure that everyone has a role and responsibilities that are spelled out and are very clear says Jane HilburtDavis president of Cambridgebased Key Resources and coauthor of Consulting to Family Businesses Establish each persons title job function and compensation And make sure that you have performance reviews for family and nonfamily employees alike she adds Moreover think twice about offering a contract to a supplier who is a relative Award contracts based on merit Dig Deeper How to Hire Family Members Rule No 2 Dont create two classes of employeesfamily vs nonfamily Be careful not to show family members special treatment Be aware that in a small or familyowned business special favors given to family members and friends demotivate employees and set a bad example caution SCORE counselors Also you dont want nonfamily members to feel like a raise or promotion is out of their reach because they arent part of the family bloodline Rule No 3 Be careful not to abuse family relationships Meaning dont either reward or punish someone because they are a relative with whom you have personal history says business and tax consultant Augustus McMillan If others are disciplined for bad behavior your family member must be disciplined also At the same rate you need to reward and praise exceptional work Treat any employee including family members or friends special if they deserve it says McMillan who started his career working with business clients as a bookkeeper in his mothers firm in the mid 90s before launching his own McMillan Consulting in Baltimore Dig Deeper How to Teach Your Kids to Take Over the Family Business Rule No 4 Communicate honestly and openly with employees Dont keep it a secret or hide the fact that you have relatives or friends working for you says McMillan otherwise when it eventually comes out and it will youll appear like you were being deceitful Also nonfamily employees shouldnt feel like family members are more in the know about what is happening with the business The ability to have an effective communication with all members of the organization is critical To foster a better climate among employees and improve continuous twoway communications consider holding company retreats in addition to family retreats HilburtDavis also Dont confuse family decisions and business decisions SCORE counselors suggest you avoid letting family members borrow company vehicles or allowing them to ask the companys IT person to set up their home offices Its also a bad idea to pass off personal expenses such as family vacations as business expenditures These are perfect examples of meeting family needs with business resources says HilburtDavis You dont want to do that You have to professionalize the business Ask yourself what you would do if this person was not a family member For example do all employees have access to the company car Dig Deeper How to Run a Family Business Establish healthy boundaries between family and business This especially applies to copreneuers husbandandwife teams Running a business together with your spouse is a balancing act Agree and adhere to some kind of system for example some couples refuse to drive to or from work together Others wont talk about the business after 6pm at home on the weekends or during family vacations Try to get away from the business quite a bit advises Wayne Rivers president of The Family Business Institute in Raleigh North Carolina Turn off the cell phone leave the laptop at home and go to the island for ten days he says If you dont tend to the relationship outside of the business you wont have a relationship In general it should be a rule not work with other family members off the clock and outside of the office McMillan says its perfectly fine to ask someone a question about a project or client when youre at the family cookout But ideally this should be a five minute conversation he says If it goes well beyond that15 minutes or moreyou may be crossing the line because now you are infringing on someones personal time Rule No 7 Use family councils to address family matters Some family members will share the same values but not the same vision One sibling may want to grow the business and keep it privately owned while another sibling may want to sell it or take it public HilburtDavis says a structure that more and more family businesses are creating to help resolve these types of conflicts is a family council A family council comprises members who may be owners but not company employees They meet monthly quarterly andor annually for the strategic planning of the business over the next year to next 10 years The more dysfunctional the family is the smaller the group to begin with cautions HilburtDavis Ideally you want to reevaluate the council after two years at which point you may open the membership up to other family members and the next generation The council does not micro manage the business but addresses family issues or concerns relative to the business If a family member is working in the business buts needs a car this is something that the family council will address Or if a family member needs to borrow money the council will decide if it wants to create a fund for the purpose making family loans Its not uncommon for family members to sacrifice income or take a pay cut to keep the business afloat during tough times Again the council would examine how best to compensate these family members Some family councils help establish three sets of plans individual ones that help each member of the family determine his or her own professional goals family plans that determine the overall goals of the family and the resources needed to achieve those objectives and business plans which address such issues as ownership management control family involvement in the business and longterm strategic direction of the business Typically one family member of the council is appointed to report to board members or shareholders He or she would present family decisions about any type of policy procedure for the boards stamp of approval Think ahead If you plan to seek private investors or go public in the future dealings with family members outside of a business environment will be questioned and scrutinized Dig Deeper To Love Honor and Report To Family business experts concede that family ownership does have its privileges But you have to really be careful and run the business in such a way that its fair its

Stop Contractors from Stealing Your Customers CREDIT Getty Relationshipsinternal and external are absolutely critical to business growth In many cases the customer value in your business lies wholly or partially with a key employee or subcontractor Case in point How many of you visit the local coffee shop because the barista is so friendly or do our banking with one of our golfing buddies To maintain its business the coffee shop is dependent on the barista and the bank is dependent on its relationship manager If these relationships sour they can severely hamper or even destroy your business Serviceoriented businesses that are built on the strength of individual relationships can pose an additional challenge when the individual becomes stronger than the brand We have a friend whos building a small business in the personal fitness space Amy does personal and group fitness training and while she teaches classes herself she also relies on a number of fitness instructors who are either employees or contractors As she focuses more on the growth of the business Amy is increasingly relying on these business partnersafter all she cant grow the business if she is the only fitness instructor Amy recently reached out to us with this question One of my personal training customers has been working with Julie for a few months and is very happy with the results Julie is one of my contractors and also has her own clients When Julie works with a customer I take 25 percent of the fee and pay 75 percent to Julie Recently the customer approached me and said Amy Im very happy working with Julie and want to continue doing so but I realize that Im paying an extra cost because she is affiliated with your firm Can I train with Julie independently and pay less What should I do I dont want to lose my customer Well Amy and Julie have a smart customer who understands that she is not receiving value directly from Amy and can save money by working directly with Julie Furthermore Julie can make more by working directly with the customer and eliminating Amys cut There are a number of businessesbig and smallthat face this fundamental issue Construction firms hire subcontractors limo companies hire drivers and technology companies outsource programming to India or other lowcost labor markets In each of these cases the customer has the ability to disintermediate their supplier and go directly to the subcontractor As we thought about this we asked a few questions about Amys business model What is in the best interest of the customer How can Amy make money by creating customer value in this situation Whats the value of Amys longterm relationship with Julie and what value does she provide to the contractor What options does Amy have to scale this business beyond herself How should she structure the business to create sustainable growth and customer value From our perspective its important for any serviceoriented business to create a model with three principles in mind 1 Add value on top of your core services As long as you are providing value to your customers they should be willing to pay for it In Amys case it wasnt clear to the customer what value she was receiving beyond the training from the subcontractor If your employees salespeople or subcontractors are the source of 100 percent of the customer value youll find yourself paying 100 percent of the value to these partners in order to retain the business Your business needs to create value in excess of these subcontractors Most importantly you dont want your business model to be in conflict with providing customer value In 2 Create a winwinwin environment Amy was providing a lot of value to Julie by offering a strong flow of new customers and taking just a 25 percent share of the fees Amy could easily structure a fixed finders fee or buyout price for any subcontractor that wants to take on a customer independently The subcontractor should be willing to pay the fee to preserve the longterm business relationship and ensure a pipeline of new customers The customer receives value by continuing to work with the subcontractor for a lower fee Everyone wins 3 Know when to lose a customer Some customers are bad for your business and its okay to let them go If they dont value the product or service you are providingsuch as an independent lowercost optionyou cant sustain a premium price Release this customer to go find a better and cheaper deal and focus your efforts on finding and attracting customers that value your premium offering Have you ever found yourself competing with contractors or business partners Use the comments field below share your comments and questions or email us at karlandbillavondalestrategicpartnerscom Published on Feb 29 2012

6 Icebreaker Questions to Ask When Seeking to Make a New Connection CREDIT Getty Images Networking events are perfect opportunities to build your contact base but you wont get more than a few business cards if you dont leave an impression Making meaningful business connections requires delving beneath the surface To pull off that critical first impression try leading with a creative icebreaker These six entrepreneurs share the first question they ask when seeking a new acquaintance at an event Remember Its okay to have fun with it How did you get started When seeking to learn more about a new contact and their company sometimes the best place to start is at the beginning Chris Gronkowski creator of shaker bottle Ice Shaker finds that learning more about where they started and how they got to where they are today is valuable for connecting and even picking up a trick or two This is a great question to ask because everyone has a unique story about how they got started in business and different techniques that were successful for them which I like to note he says It also gives me a chance to learn about this person and their company and how we can benefit from each other Would you rather lose one arm or one leg Asking a silly but thoughtprovoking question can start a memorable conversation with a stranger says Bryce Welker founder and CEO of CPA review site Crush the CPA exam This is a great way to break through the noise of the many attendees focusing strictly on business Ive found that asking offthewall questions to potential connections sets me apart from other professionals who ask tired questions that often encourage canned responses says Welker Its possible that one zany conversation can lead to opportunities in the future Why havent we worked together Ryan Bradley partner at personal injury law firm Koester Bradley LLP understands that making an advantageous connection starts with addressing why youre both there So why not cut right to the chase The reason that entrepreneurs and founders attend networking events is to generate business I never avoid this fact After the standard pleasantries I love to ask people why we havent worked together before he says It is an offbeat question particularly if you are a little outside your direct niche but it allows the conversation to flow in a positive direction toward a goal business Whats your favorite book You can tell a lot about a person by their hobbies and passions Thats why Zac Johnson CEO of blogging business Blogger asks about a personal interest that many entrepreneurs have in common Many people especially entrepreneurs are very passionate about reading When it comes to books people like to discuss what theyve read recently along with their favorite books Johnson says This is a great way to open a conversation with someone and it helps you better understand their interests and passions in the process Whats your biggest challenge right now Running a successful business isnt all fun and games and Sam Miller founder of strength training and performance measurement technology platform Boston Biomotion likes to confront this Asking someone about their biggest challenge opens up an honest dialogue that could prove to be mutually beneficial I prefer this question as a way of getting some depth This often leads right to learning more about what they do and where theyre at and also seeing if theres any way I can be helpful he says The question is pretty disarming so it requires quickly establishing some trust and comfort but some of the best conversations and followups Ive had have come from this Whats your dream I always like to ask people what their big dream is and if they are currently doing it says Dalia MacPhee CEO of clothing brand DALIA MACPHEE This goes beyond simply learning about their current business ventures and demonstrates that you value their passions too Theres never been a time when Ive asked that question that someones eyes didnt light up and a meaningful conversation ensue she says Id rather skip the small talk and be the person that was remembered at an event for helping to light a fire under someone Published on Oct 2 2017
