The store isn't "set it and forget it." Him saying that tells me everything I need to know about their marriage. The wife runs the store, and the husband de-values all her labor. The wife works two full-time jobs so the family can have health insurance and private school tuition reduction, and she's sick of it, but her husband is giggling about it for some reason.
Yes there seems to be some "holes" in this story. They seem to have a dream setup of incomes. If the guy earns around 200k per year. Why is the wife doing do things. Even if she hates working in the store. Working like 1, 2 days per month for 50k per year is very good still. She could grow that to 100k for maybe 5 days per month.
@@2ar2betrY I'm surprised Dave didn't challenge him on any of this story, as it doesn't really make sense. This guy makes 200k, running his own business, and refers to himself as in a "treadmill operator" phase. He also says that's how things have been for the past twenty years. I find it odd that after twenty years he hasn't figured out how to graduate from the treadmill phase, but has chosen to open an unrelated retail operation. Also he says his income has remained at this level the whole time. Okay. It would be much smarter to add on services for existing clientele, advertise to cast a wider net so he can charge more, take on employees so he can do more jobs and make more profit. I have no idea why someone who is busting their butt running their own business for 200k yearly wants to open an unrelated retail operation for 50k/year, as there is likely the potential for more profitability from his existing job, if he would focus. Overall the household finances sounded chaotic messy and poorly run.
@@davewhite756 lol no of course not. I might have been unclear in my original comment. To clarify: I don't believe the wife works 8hours/month at this alleged "set it and forget it" retail establishment. I believe she works far more than that and the husband merely ignores or discounts most of her labor.
I was five years deep into a two person operation and wanted more say in how the business was run. The boss wasn’t interested, so I quit. We both exercised our power.
Fun Fact: Robert Wood had a great idea to run a business called Montgomery ward better. He presented his idea to the bosses and they fired him. Later on he went on to Sears and they were more open to his ideas and put Wards out of business.
Boomers are more likely to dismiss these kind of ideas because thier all internal esteem is driven from being "the boss". Younger bosses would love to hear your suggestions even if you are wrong and they will encourage you to keep providing ideas.
Rarely does that happen as a direct result. At best it’s get a pay raise for performance. The bigger issue is how Dave responded. He acted like people in their mid-20s don’t have good ideas
@@jakeevans7617 he really didn’t though, he came at it from an objective standpoint keeping in mind that he has no context on the founder of the business. With that being said he made sure the caller understood his advice on a cautious but effective approach
@jakeevans7617, not really. Let's say that the owner has done this for 10, 15 years already. What does his 18 months have on that. Who wouldn't want to get input on something. What he says to the caller is that it's important to show humility to someone more senior.
Don’t take your own ideas, in time you will get no credibility , I helped start a tree business, in fact I was the only tree trimmer, the old boss is doing very well with the tree company, a am doing air conditioning
Every person --- at their worst --- sounds awfu, and you will get to see your life partner on her worst day. 😅 💞 In this case, it looks like they made decisions together that pushed her toward her limit, and her husband is not fully aware of the issue. He claimed that she only works 8 hours a month, then said she's responsible for making decisions every time they go out for dinner! 😮 So that's a few hours of meetings at the expense of their marriage. Not a fair trade!
I am a poor person but still love to watch the show. I think teaching is better than that retail.
Poor is a mindset. That's your first problem.
Did anyone ask ur analisys mr success coach person?@@matthart4465

@@2ar2betrYthey all missed she said she want to be on a beach in 10 years retired. She would only be mid 40s 😂😂 she doesn't want to work
8 hours per month is a full time job?

I would present the ideas as questions. Would it make any sense if we tried doing x? Present it in a way where they can feel like they thought it up.

Where does Dave get all this slang at his age 🙂?
Is he going to want to get compensated for his input if it becomes profitable?

Bosses don't like to be told what to do.
Stupid bosses do not take advice from productive workers.
@@theravenousrabbit3671even smart bosses hate it .. they built it you just a worker
Only boomers like dave
