Curious to hear what your thoughts are
- JohnBrookz 3y agoI think this would apply to most people but really it’s just how capitalism works. I think for some people the value of starting is business is having control of who you surround yourself with. I want to work with ambitious, smart and kind people who actively want to build a better world. I wouldn’t mind working at a company like that even if the job was tough. Unfortunately most companies are ran by greedy ambitious people with no wisdom or care for tomorrow. Long term is end of the year for these people and big picture expands only to the business they work in. The people you work with aren’t any better either typically. So really the only option is to build a company.
