oh yea , i forgot to touch base on the PARTNERS THING.....
I TOO LOST TENS OF THOUSANDS.(30 TO 40 THOUSAND) from allowing a partner oversee the financial, bookeeping dispaching, and other mysterios tasks of my company. i had a 12 man crew and he had 1 useless employee other than his useless self. he used my man power to blossom his buisness yet kept paying the men out of my account. every time i audited my books i found around 240 man hrs disapearing off of my jobs every week. times that by $20.00 per hr = $4800.00 a week of free labor for his company. (NICE TRUSTWORTHY GUY). oh yea the rent for the building i had, was supposed to be split too (he never paid a dime). oh and MY 4 trucks (somehow were rolling for his company too. never reimbursed. SIMPLY PUT, I GOT HOSED........... EXPENSIVE, YET VALUBLE LESSON HERE. "TRUST KNOWONE WITH YOUR BUISNESS ENOUGH TO HURT YOUR BUISNESS.."
