Why do this? Let him keep being an idiot so you don’t lose a talented employee rather than push him to be his own boss who competes with you

He has a family and I want him to do well. He would never be my competition and I could replace him. I’m just trying to help the guy. I guess I see myself in him in a “there but for the grace of God, go I” sort of way.

Since I started this company I have taken on people as projects. I am realizing now that that is one of the reasons I have pushed so hard. I have it in me to lay back and live the Jimmy Buffet lifestyle, but I wouldn’t be in a position to try to help guys like this do a better job for their families.
