It’s a double-edged sword when you are trying to make a name for yourself in an industry or company your parents or siblings has already achieved a lot in. On one hand, their success can open up doors for you. They can share the secrets to their success and give you valuable advice about each challenge you face.

Are you crumbling under the pressure, not just from others, but from yourself? FN gives you a few tips on stepping out on your own.
