Additional comments on the 10 rules:
An increase in profits should always mean an increase in everyone’s income.
All partners should know what is going on all of the time. There should never be any secrets.
Everyone works hard. Successes should be celebrated and remembered and appreciated.
Expenses need to be monitored and one must ensure that expenses are under control. Waves in business can hit extreme lows and in these cases, expenses need to be reasonable.
