African Family Firms Founder, Tsitsi Mutendi on how Family Business is like "Raising the Baobab"#PoisedforExit had the honor of interviewing Tsitsi Mutendi, Founder of African Family Firms, Nhaka Legacy, and host of "Enterprising Families" podcast! Tsitsi grew up in family business; in her immediate family and among her extended family and friends. Many of those companies did not survive generational transfers, so Tsitsi dove into the world of family business to found her own companies, become an adviser herself and change the outcomes. First, she founded Nkaha Legacy, an advisory firm for owners and their families that uses its expertise in consulting and family business governance to help the generations navigate change, develop a flourishing legacy and keep the family itself intact. "Nhaka" is a word meaning 'heritage' that transcends financial wealth, and encompasses all that an owner leaves behind. Their wisdom, knowledge, reputation, and other intangibles that tend to live on longer than the money left to heirs. In other words, the entire legacy. Tsitsi's mission is to build, sustain and protect her clients' business continuity and legacy through engaging programs and other valuable family business resources and organizations; most of which she's had a hand in establishing herself!Family Business Governance is something that owners of family businesses in the West tend to struggle with if they don't have the proper advisors to walk them through setting it up. In Africa, Governance is part of the Culture already, making the Family Business part of Governance a much easier pill to swallow. There's much more to learn about this, so be sure to listen to the show!A popular tree in Africa called the "Baobab" is used to describe the written work that Tsitsi will soon publish! "Raising the Baobab" is the book's title and it refers to how family business advisory is like raising the baobab tree. The tree grows to be quite large and supports many functions and uses. As advisors, it's our job to help encourage, support and "raise the baobab" of the family business, that supports communities and families for so many when they are strategically and skillfully supported and grown. Using the 5C's of Capital as its foundation, "Raising the Baobab" will surely be a future Best Seller!Listen to this episode here!

Succession Stories host Laurie Barkman talks with Tsitsi Mutendi about addressing the challenges of entrepreneuring families. Tsitsi is an internationally recognised Family Business Expert and Family Office Advisor focused on building multigenerational family wealth. Two past generations of her family were entrepreneurs but faced various challenges. Tsitsi did not inherit financial wealth but did inherit the entrepreneurial spirit to build three of her own businesses in Zimbabwe. Tsitsi is also the co-founder of African Family Firms, an association for Family Businesses operating on the African continent. She is motivated to help family-led companies with their family systems and business systems, and be able to pass on their wealth— whether it's wealth of knowledge, wealth of assets, or wealth of experience, from generation to generation.

She helps NextGens rise above operations into a non-executive board role with credibility, so that they are able to lead and formulate a plan to future-proof the business, becoming more effective change agents.

Nike has almost a decade of experience working in African family businesses, as a NextGen in her parents' businesses and also as a co-Founder of several others. This inside experience as a NextGen birthed a passion to help others in similar shoes as herself in being effective change champions that collaborate with other family members and stakeholders in co-building legacy businesses that would outlive them. After graduating from University College London, United Kingdom, with a degree in Economics in 2008, Nike worked at Deloitte London for 3 years in Corporate Tax International where she qualified as a Chartered Accountant. Thereafter in 2011, she relocated to Lagos, Nigeria to work in her family's businesses. She is the co-founder of African Family Firms, a pan-African association of family businesses, and the author of “Building Resilient Family Enterprises”. She is a member of Family Firm Institute. Nike is rated as one of the top 100 Consultants globally in the Family Enterprise World by Family Capital, a leading online publication for Family Businesses. She is happily married and a mother to two young boys, who are her biggest sources of inspiration to leave a lasting legacy on our world.” Couple quotes from Nike in this episode: “You want to plan as early as yesterday. it's never too early for legacy planning” “More Diverse teams, and true inclusion, leads to co-creation of better solutions.” Episode initially recorded on 8-27-21, released for the first time here

Our guest for this episode featured Nike Anani, Founder of African Family Firms, which is a non-profit community of family business owners of African descent from around the globe. Nike' got her start as a member of her own family's construction firm when she lived in Nigeria. Born there, but raised and educated in the UK, she went back to work in the family business with her father in Nigeria and eventually helped the family plan their own succession. This led to her work with other family businesses. Her typical client is a 2nd generation owner of a family business of African descent. She works with them to build a legacy plan, a wealth and estate plan, while counseling them on developing a communication plan to help facilitate and complete all of the above. With an asset base of $50M and above, these would be considered larger family enterprises by comparison to most, making their situations more complex and time consuming, but still having many of the same issues family business owners tend to face. Nike recently released "Lifetime to Legacy" a book about how to leave a family business legacy. Her advice for our listeners:1. Be mindful of all stakeholders in the family business and use empathy when dealing and communicating with each other2. Owners should try to include the Next Gen into the planning as early as possible. Being a successor can be intimidating; the earlier they know what's going on, the higher likelihood of success.

The Book Leads – Episode 29: Nike Anani & Lifetime to Legacy: A New Vision for Multigenerational Family Businesses For this episode, Nike Anani guides me through the nature of her work as a Succession Specialist who guides families in preparing family businesses to live on beyond this generation, the next and those that follow. Her career journey began after returning to her homeland of Nigeria, after having lived and studied abroad, to move the family business forward. What I took away from this great conversation is how we can all consider that successional mindset, to declare and work for what will be here beyond our work today and that of the generation that follows us. There's being reactive to the world around us, and then there's being proactive about what steps we're going to take, how we're going to work together, and how our name and mission will live – and thrive – beyond our lifetimes. Some highlights we touch upon in this episode: How society can tend to be about façade and veneers, but trauma can bring something beautiful, and that the failures and hardships allow us to learn so much – even in the family business. How perspective can be everything, allowing us to realize what we have when we step away and come back with fresh and opened eyes. The writing process and what worked for Nike The MAIN QUESTION for you, which underlies my conversation with Nike is, How do you go about setting up your legacy, whether individually, as a business, or as a family?

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Nike Anani. At 9 years old she went to the UK with her mom and brothers for what she was told was a summer vacation, but they never left. Nike's dad stayed behind in Lagos, Nigeria to run the family business, and it wasn't until she was in her 20s that she learned how extremely successful the family business was. Nike's parents' intentions of not sharing the scope of the business were good. They wanted their children to be focused, hardworking and self-motivated. However, as Nike explains, she didn't grow up in a wealthy culture and found herself not knowing how to navigate life as a wealthy person.

Nike is the founder and CEO of Nike Anani Practice, Ltd., in Lagos, Nigeria, where she helps second-generation family business members collaborate with the founding generation in an effort to build sustainable family enterprises in the region. No more than 2% of African family businesses successfully transition power to the second generation, and Nike has made it her mission to facilitate this generational merge. With over a decade of experience working with select business families in Africa, Nike Anani (https://nikeanani.com/) helps owners lead their family organizations to long-term impact and legacy. Her clients choose to engage her, not only because of her extensive professional training, but also because of her practical experience as both a business founder and a NextGen (https://nikeanani.com/nextgen-the-turning-wheel/). This allows her to uniquely empathise with both generations and act as a connector to the Founding generation. Standout Quotes: * "And that's an observation I have of founders and entrepreneurs, they're just amazing people that have an eye for opportunity" - [Nike] * "As most founders do, it was about giving me the best opportunity to set me up for success and often in their minds, success is going as far away from the business to get the best experience...so they can come back" - [Nike] * "In Nigeria, 90% of indigenous businesses are family businesses, but only 2% survive beyond the founder" - [Nike] * "Family businesses are so key to the community, if they keep failing after a generation, then what's that doing to the economy?" - [Nike] * "I think that starting from a relatively small base, the best way to build anything is with community, and actually building what that community wants rather than just dictating something that you found off the shelf from another culture" - [Mike] * "If you've seen one family business, you've seen one family business" - [Nike] * "A friend of mine says whenever you wake up is your morning, some people don't wake up until they're 85, they don't know what they want" - [Nike] * "I need to be in the best version of myself so I can serve people to the best of my ability" - [Nike] * "There's always something new to learn, we've never arrived, we're just on this ongoing journey of endless learning, in my view" - [Nike] * "There's no position that's guaranteed in life, whether it be a position of material success or honor, today you might be celebrated but it doesn't mean tomorrow you will be" - [Nike] * "It is important to ensure that people's external projections don't become your internal story, because your story is the most powerful thing that you can give yourself" - [Nike] Key Takeaways: * Nike is a 2nd generation family business owner, and she narrates how her father started the family business initially as a side-hustle. * Describing events around her entry into the business, she shares the plan was to only stay for a few months in Nigeria, gain exposure to business in general, and move back to the UK eventually. However, she was drawn to the spirit of entrepreneurship there and felt more liberated as a young black female. * Nike explains that while her father had expressed general support for her in any field she was planning to go into, she had never expected she would work in the family business. * A glaring disparity in the decision-making process between her former place of work and the family business was the time taken which could be much shorter or longer in different scenarios, leaving her befuddled about family business as a whole. This encouraged her to get professional education at the Family Firm Institute in Boston. * Employing her knowledge in her family business, Nike started the process of "Governance" which involved her siblings more, intending to avert the typical dissolution that plagued most Nigerian family businesses after the founding generation. * Another strategy adopted involved starting the conversation by creating a community called "African Family Firms" for African families facing similar challenges to meet and navigate through these issues. * Nike highlights various peculiarities of African families, noting how these have to be put into consideration when trying to find solutions to the survival of family businesses in Africa. * You won't know what you want until you come together as a family, have open conversations, and plan for different scenarios. Get clear as a family on who you are, what your values are, the goals of the family, and the purpose of the family business. * Emphasizing the importance of continuous learning, Nike embraces the process as a part of being the best version of herself. * A significant failure that set her up for success took place in school, where the result she got at some point would not be good enough for the jobs she wanted, and this motivated her to push herself harder than ever before to achieve her desired goal. * Nike's parents impressed upon her certain values described as 4Hs and 2Ps. The 4Hs are Honesty, Hard work, Humility, and Harmony while the 2Ps are People and Places. All of these were included in the family constitutional value system when the formal family enterprise was set up. * It is important to understand that while people can project their weaknesses onto you and vilify you, their external projections should not become your internal story because your story is the most powerful thing you can give yourself, and you have to hold on to that story. Episode Timeline: * [00:50] Meet Today's guest, 'Nike Anani'. * [01:56] Nike's personal and professional background. * [08:30] How did the family make the jump from medical consumables to construction and building hospitals? * [16:55] How were you inspired to learn more about the Business of Family? * [23:00] Since the wake-up call that you received, what did you do about it for your own family or your friends' families? * [29:50] Do people document entitlements for kin or rather more of a bloodline lineage? * [32:53] Challenges surrounding Real Estate planning in Africa. * [39:18] An overview of Nike's different roles in family business generally. * [50:15] Has there been a specific failure that you've learned a great deal from? * [56:00] Apart from education, what else came through as fundamentally important from your parents? * [59:40] Nike's letter to her kids.
