Editor's Notes

  • #4 Vulnerability story- 1st company I trusted highly, and didn’t document our terms. Got burnt and lost A LOT of upside. His atty told my atty that if I didn’t sell my ½ of the $3MM company for $13,000 (as per capital account), he would bankrupt the company and I would have to payback ½ of the $300,000 credit line. Learned- leadership team alignment is critical and erodes on its own. Learned
