My youngest has a lemonade stand today. First person to show up is the older boy up the street. I go out to see what’s going on and he says “ we made a deal. I’ll work for her for 25% of profits. I’m an entrepreneur. “
“Sorry bud, we’re not hiring. She spent all morning working on this. “
“Oh no problem, I’ll work for free”. Now he’s out there pouring the lemonade.
My dude: GET THE FUCK OFF MY LAWN AND LET HER RUN HER BUSINESS.
Same thing happened when my older daughter had a stand a couple years ago. Same thing happens at least once a month in my grown up business too. There’s always someone who sees you building and thinks they’re entitled to a cut. Usually they think they can do it better than you, but you know the difference? They didn’t do it. You did!
