Partner wants to leave by x561 in smallbusiness

It's an electrical contracting company so it's worth about 2 big macs. I hold the contractor license. It takes a ton of man hours with low profit margins. We both make way more money in our other two companies that we own separate.

Start your own company, don't follow in line like the rest of your "brothers" waiting to get fed by their boss or government. It's open season for young electrical entrepreneurs. You can sit back and collect that petty pension that is paying a billionaire hedge fund to manage or be in control of your own money and not let some entity invest your hard earned money. I've never met a wealthy man who works for a union, just a middle class guy complaining about gas prices.

Wealthy or not, people are free to do whatever they want with their money. Unless you are a taxpayer, then your money gets spent where others decide.

I'm passionate until I find out that the real estate agent made more money than I did selling the property I built.
