In this thread: People that run a business and people that THINK they know how to run a business. It's all about perspective and everyone only sees what they want to see.

A mid-cap company I used to work at was small enough that in our annual meetings we had a chance to meet with different parts of the organization to understand what their goals were, how their success was measured and what barriers they had to overcome in their day-to-day jobs. We got a glimpse into all parts of the business from C-level executives, product management, sales and marketing, HR, IT, etc.

The idea was that if we were all sympathetic to each others challenges and motivations (pains and gains) that the company would marshall together with singular drive instead of lose velocity and direction due to infighting.

For the most part it worked, but after the meetings there would always be the odd person that just didn't get the bigger picture and still griped about their department's own pains vs the larger company's gain.

absolutely there are folks that think about it
then there are folks that do it day in day out
its been my experience that in this world there is far more thinkers than doers

All you have to do is read his post on the matter. It's all there.

where?

Manufaturing and investing/stocks are worlds apart

Business is business but I'm not a stock broker either way.

perfectly and eloquently said. And absolutely true.

true. I have helped 2 people start businesses by giving them the start up money. Both are very successful and both saw my lifestyle and thought that their boss was an idiot , raping all the employees , and that they could do better. Both now realize that being the owner has way more stress than being the employee most times. They both were shocked at the massive difference between owning a business and working at one.
But ...Cry me a river ...if only I could buy a more tolerant personality! Now go **** yourselves!!!

I was thinking more along the lines of that boiler room movei.​

With all due respect, I don't see the problem that FMJ has. He gets paid ok, gets lots of free time at work & gets to drink beer at lunch. Maybe I need to be in his shoes to fully understand.

You just can't have it all

All you have to do is read his post on the matter. It's all there.

FMJ post 57. He seems relatively happy but sees mismanagement. He doesn't want to hear about money issues because he's not as stupid as he looks.

Sweeping generalities are a drag. If running a business was easy everybody would do it. Anybody that doesn't get how hard it is and how much commitment is needed is an idiot. True, some people just naturally function at a higher level so they are at an advantage but it's still taxing on the ole melon. I've worked for a lot of small outfits, I see what goes on, no thanx.
I value my free time. I'm a good employee. I get by quite nicely on my paycheque. I just don't make enough to get on the internet to rub peoples nose in it. I'm ok with that.

Fights on the telly? Scarfin' greasy meat? Why the Mea Culpa?

 

[Bruin]

It's hard to say who's bullshitting, because both Sonny and FullMoto are speaking vaguely, dancing around what they do without really providing enough info to really back their side up.
.

Agreed, I thought Sonny Mentioned owning restaurants in another thread. It is the internet afterall

Mea Culpa "An acknowledgement of a personal error or fault"

Admitting, no, bragging of fights on telly and greasy meat.........

Oh, and I shouldn't forget.....
