THE FAMILY ECONOMY

HIRE the Kids

Most families treat business and household as separate systems.

One generates income.

The other consumes it.

The Family Economy is a different approach—families operate as coordinated economic units that produce income, acquire assets, reduce financial pressure, and transfer knowledge across generations.

Business and family aren’t separate.

They’re one integrated system.

When you legally employ your children in your business, income flows strategically. Assets compound intentionally. Economic competence builds through participation. Tax advantages are captured. And the next generation inherits both wealth and the wisdom to preserve it.

Financial capability doesn’t happen by accident.

It’s designed through a Family Economy.

This is the system that transforms your Family Economy from concept to implementation—ensuring every step is IRS-compliant, properly documented, and strategically beneficial.

the S.H.A.R.E. framework explained

01

Sire: Build The Economic System

The parent establishes the business or income source that makes everything possible. SIRE is where you create the foundation—the entity, the operations, the revenue stream that will employ your children and fund your Family Economy.

02

Hire: Kids Become Contributors

The HIRE stage is implemented through the Family Employment Standard, which provides the legal and operational blueprint for employing children within a family business.

03

Acquire: Convert Income Into Assets

The family strategically transforms earned income into wealth-building assets. ACQUIRE ensures compensation doesn't disappear into consumption—it flows into investments, business growth, real estate, and long-term opportunities that compound across generations.

04

Retire: Reduce Financial Pressure

The system uses strategic income allocation to strengthen the household's financial position. RETIRE means reducing debt, building reserves, improving cash flow, and lowering long-term pressure. The Family Economy creates stability for both business and family simultaneously.

05

Empire: Transfer Systems And Knowledge

Assets and operational knowledge pass down across generations. EMPIRE is the result of executing the previous steps in order. Your children don't just inherit money. They inherit documentation habits, decision frameworks, ownership fluency, and economic confidence. This is where legacy is built.

06

Why SHARE Works:

SHARE is not a shortcut. It's not a loophole. It's economic architecture for business families. When applied intentionally, it: Turns exposure into apprenticeship, Turns income into ownership, Turns responsibility into confidence, and Turns business into legacy. Miss a step, and compounding slows. Follow the system, and capability compounds alongside wealth.
