I recently started a brick and mortar business. Doing graphic design, installing vinyl graphix, store front signage ect.... Any way the people I went into business with are idiots.
that is the first mistake. One of them refuses to buy stuff online because he doesn't want his credit card to get stolen. (had this happen to me, not my fault but bank called me to let me know first time second time I called and they fixed it right away.) He also just doesnt have faith really puts no effort in it.

The other guy is just dumb to be blunt.
He tries hard but just takes so long to get learn things.

I think I am going to double my money and tell them I am done or sell them my share after that point.

Any suggestions. feedback.

I am the idiot I feel like. Not to mention this made me location dependent which is not what I want.

    Actually, he KIND of has a point. Get a limited liability company, get IT a credit card, and only use THAT card on trustable sites, or use paypal. PROBLEM(S) SOLVED!!!!

    It is best to mitigate the leaks!

    Those are COMMON problems! Why not buy THEM out FIRST, if you trust the concept. It makes security tighter and gets rid of initial problems.

      Words fail me. I wouldn't know where to start.

      By the way, did you go into business with Dan Riffle? It would explain a lot.

        My credit card company will assign special numbers to each merchant if I want to use that. You probably should discuss with someone at yours what services are available to you to help prevent theft or identity problems. P.S. This is in addition to getting the other suggestion to getting a card solely with the business name.

    A far more widespread (and understandable) attitude than many marketers realise.

    If you've had it happen twice, yourself, you presumably have plenty of sympathy with his perspective, then? Given some of the stories about "identity theft" increasingly occupying media space and attention ...

    Well, that's another matter altogether, admittedly. I hope it resolves quickly and profitably for you, anyway.

    Learn from your mistakes and move on. Get out of this position (perhaps buy them out and be independent). You will be better in the long run.

    With the credit card issue I can sort of understand... But in addition to it I feel that its not just that this person is almost against progression as a whole. The way things are moving its just easier to buy stuff online and get better quality for less. But that is his issue.

    I am going to just double up and get out. I do not want to be location dependent so. My fault there also. But I feel this is a great learning opportunity also.

    I have another question for you guys/girls.

    Do negative people just drive you crazy or what?

    I was chatting with my father this morning talking about how to progress another one of our ventures, and he said "Well he is one of a hundred thousand. That is why he is able to make so much from his products."

    My feeling is well shit lets just go be a job-er and quit the quest.

    What do you think?

      Sometimes.

      But people calling others "negative" sometimes do, too. Some people seem to have a particular knack for interpreting reality, objectivity and a little healthy skepticism as "negativity", and to be honest that probably annoys me even more, overall, perhaps partly because it's an attempted justification or rationalization for their own naivety and/or prejudices.

      Let's be honest: lots of things drive me crazy. I'm just irascible and intolerant.
