as an employer or contractor of 15 or so people.. from my experience it pays to treat your people well and pay them good and teach them the business. wether or not they absorb the information is up to them...

I am a firm believer in giving everyone a chance to prove themselves and giving them enough rope to either hang themselves or build a ladder with it.

I have tattoos and shit all over my body.. and I probably make more than 85% of the avg person yet if you never knew me or who i was or what I did, i get treated like shit or not taken seriously.

how does one handle that? I move on to the next person I want to deal with until I am treated with respect and fairly.

for example.

I was shopping the other day for a truck. I went to 10 dealerships and was very upfront about my goal to purchase exactly what I wanted. 2 of the 10 took care of me. that was before i stated my income and told them my down payment.

what does that mean to me? It means they will get my business again and again and referals.

Next time you judge someone by what they look like or whatever the case may be.. think twice before making assumptions. it could bite you in the ass big time.

dunno why i posted this.. was just thinking about shit and how I am structuring my life to set myself up for a very comfortable lifestyle and my children.

dont ever settle for anything unless its what you really want and are happy with the end result. sand up for yourself and what you know is right.

People get away with far to much shit these days because noone has the balls to stand up for themselves and whats right.

love,
