Let’s delve into why it’s essential to remember that our loved ones aren’t mind-readers and the importance of direct communication.

We’ve all been there before – you meet someone who seems to have it all on paper. They’re charming, attractive, have similar interests as you, and seem to ‘get’ you in a way no one else does.

I have 5 FTE’s including my wife. My wife and I pay ourselves $100k/yr each, make sure we have our employees’ undivided attention through bonuses, and we keep the rest of the money in the company for reinvestment. Started in 2015 with $8k/month in revenue and have grown it since.
