A typical story ... one with a sad ending:
They had a tidy business relationship.
He played; she worked. Contented, she was, while he enjoyed his toys!
She slogged; he had her covered.
He was boss; she allowed him!
It was an arrangement that worked and none complained.
The company grew and prospered. Everyone benefited and life was good until one day, tragedy struck.
He died ... and soon after that she was taken ill.
The company was thrown into confusion and immediately a group of well-meaning professionals barged in. Out with the old; in with the new!
Without sensitivity and understanding of the business coupled with little regard for people, those pros, although armed with degrees and good intentions, did more damage than good.
Further confusion ensued!
With incorrect diagnosis of the company's ailment, they administered the wrong treatment and caused undue suffering. Good advice was ignored and no one really paid any attention to its deplorable state.
The situation worsened and not surprising, the company eventually slipped into coma and then breathed its last, amid the chaos.
It was a good company that took years to build.
Gone in the blink of an eye!

Sad...
Interesting, this world of business.
A combination of wisdom, discernment, good will, good sense and effective management; along with training, experience and exposure are mandatory to build and sustain a lucrative business.
It's highly unlikely that one person would possess all these skills and that being the case, team work is paramount.
Invest in excellent people, and when you find someone who is trustworthy, faithful, smart and hardworking, never let him/her go. Keep him/her at all costs.
