I am soooooooooo happy that you expressed your feelings to me. Communication, although sometimes difficult, is key to any successful relationship. Women are intuitive creatures and I knew that you had things on your heart that needed to be expressed.
Listen I’m a bossy bitch and I’m used to being in charge. I was raised an only child, then I raised 3 boys by myself, then I married a man who thinks my shit don’t stink and, before you guys came along, I ran the day to day of TaylorMade. But let me tell you a secret – I don’t like being in charge. I’ve developed those skills because I had to. If I feel that someone else is better than me at something, I will gladly let them take the reins. The problem is – that’s not usually the case AND I’m extremely anal retentive.
Enough about me. Let’s talk about us. I think we make a great team. We are complete opposites which is perfect for a partnership because we’ll cover all bases. Let me just say that it was never my intention to disrespect you or not take your thoughts into consideration. I do think that you are too sensitive sometimes. You always want to be fair to everybody and that’s not always possible in business. We will definitely operate with integrity but sometimes toes will be stepped on especially as we grow. I’m all for helping family (that’s why Wes is involved in everything) but we have to make the best decision for the job. We can talk in detail about your examples below because it’s too much to type.
Actually I’m going to stop typing here and suggest that we meet and continue this much needed conversation. I don’t want to come across as bullying or mean when that is the farthest from my intentions.
El and I are grateful that you brought this oppty to us and we are excited about the future for us as partners. These conversations are necessary for positive growth so LETS TALK
