I work in a small family run business. I've advanced from the very bottom to as high as possible without being an owner. Since I am not related, advancement is no longer possible and I'm beginning to feel bored with my job. You know, same ole, same ole. I crave change and challenges which is why I think I've advanced so fast.

If you have learned all you can and gone as far as you can go then the time for change is here. Be sure to do your job search on your time and find that new and more challenging position before you quit. Second give enough notice that the old employer can fill your position this is usually 1 to 2 weeks. Last but not least tell your current boss how much his training and faith in you have helped you. Would you really be ready for something bigger and tougher if he hadn't taught you? Good luck in your bright future.

To be honest, you should always be looking for better opportunities, and occasionally apply for different jobs. This accomplishes several things:
1) It lets you guage how marketable your current skill set is, and could give you a heads-up to what you need to do in order to keep abrest of your given occupation.
2) It keeps your name out there. Family owned businesses are notoriously unstable - a single sudden death or disaster can throw the whole operation into chaos, and you need to make sure you have options in the event that happens.
3) It can be fun to go on interviews, and you can guage whether you're current salary level is sufficient.
I worked at a small, family owned business for 8½ years, and on several occasions I interviewed elsewhere just to keep abreast of what skill-sets I should be working on maintaining and enhancing. When I finally left, it was for a better work environment, but my previous searches made sure I knew what skills were marketable and which ones to leave off the resume.

Check out what other options you may have without alienating your current employer. If you have gained a significant amount of experience, you should be able to transfer that experience to another employer and maybe make more money and gain more responsibility. If you show your current employer that you are valued elsewhere, maybe they will promote you despite not being a relative. Or, you could always marry the boss's daughter.
