My dad did this when he sold his pipeline business to an English outfit in 1992
Optioned off over half to his 25 or so key employees based on position and duration
His administrative assistant pocketed mid sixes
I’ve been in business many years
Rich and broke and near broke
Few folks are generous with their own money....a true sign of most folks with leftist mindsets....who blame the world and want to fix it rather than themselves
The worst of us are only happy when they win and all else have less
I’m happy when all parties are satisfied or as I think Trump said it
When the other parties ....range from happy to unhappy little enough not to be mad
Something like that ..
—”Rich and broke and near broke”
Thank you and all others that work day in and day out to make a go of it, employing others along the way.
My best friend offered me to be his partner when he started up. I declined but did work for him for many years.
In the early years, it was not unusual for his draw to be ZERO dollars for a hundred-hour week, and his wife put in forty-plus hours, too.
He cashed out in the depth of the 0bama years at a cheap price.
The remaining partner hung on and was doing over 30m in the Trump years.
Thank you for helping the rest of us risk-averse types.
Happy New Year!
