I feel Joe Budden
These dudes want ownership of something Joe created.
I remember AK saying something and it resonated with me. Your employees will never care about the business as much as you do. You will do all the leg work and heavy lifting. Putting hours and hours in daily while your employees just clock out. All because you got a vision and you want this to work. You can tell who the worker bee nikkas and who are bosses. They don’t understand that. Also comes down to hiring the right people because in your head you wanna hire friends and family. Everybody got this thing in their head where they wanna get money with people they fukk with and love. Soon as your business start turning a profit is when the questions start coming up. It’s because they don’t see you as their boss, they still see as that friend or family member. In their head everything is 50/50 splits with the money. They don’t understand the overhead to operate the business daily or they don’t understand it take money to make money so if you ever wanna expand you gotta have the bread to do that or they don’t understand the rainy day fund for when your equipment broke or you got a leak in the ceiling or business slows down. It’s tough to understand unless you ever tried to start up a business. If a dude ever had his lawyers call me and want to audit my books. I’ll give em up no problem so you can see I been more than fair with you. But know once that phone call was made, our friendship is dead because you playing with my business. This is my livelihood. This how I feed my kids. I don’t play about that. It won’t be on no confrontational shyt. It will just be we got shyt to talk about, you go your way and I’ll go my way. It’s cool.
