As Honest as the Dollar Bill
There is nothing like a good business individual to let you know where you are really spending your money. I would like to pay tribute to the dollar bill and those who believe in it. They all come from the same line… fraud. Oops! I mean… honesty and trustworthy business tactics.
So, here’s the business story. A woman entrepreneur, we will call her Sally, was working with another individual in order to distribute work to them. It was a work for hire contract, with no agreements to the bounds for termination, payment, etc. Here’s how the entrepreneur assisted in making the business system even better.
So, where to start with this wonderful entrepreneur? Oh, right. She didn’t sign any contracts with those she was distributing the work to or those that she was getting the work from. As a matter of fact, I heard that she had just lost $3,000, $1,500 and other payments because the customers were under no bounds to pay her. A heroic suffering of her business in order to truly distribute the work. What a service woman!
Oh, let’s keep going about her contributions. When it came to paying for the work, to those she was getting the work from, she was really good at “showing the money”. She would shift her money into different market places so that it would look like she was broke, then lie and say that the system wasn’t coming through with her money so that she wouldn’t have to pay anyone. When she got caught… the answer was… “I’m confused. I don’t know where my money went.” Well, like they say… a business always needs a separate account.
As a matter of fact, when she got called on anything, that was her answer. “I’m confused.” Then a little laugh. And, not only was she “confused” but she played it on every side so that she never knew what the work was about or for, didn’t know what the writers were doing and had to contact everyone at least 5 times a day in order to make sure that there was something going on. Because she never knew. Poor Sally… just trying to do her job, but there’s so much going on… how is any business individual supposed to keep track?
The greatest thing about this heroic woman entrepreneur is that she is well known in her industry and is biting everyone else out of the competition.
A tribute to losers ville for someone being honest, trustworthy with your money, and as good as the dollar bill. A true American entrepreneur.
