congrats on the engagement

mike is right, demand more from your 'team', what are they doing if not finding new customers or delivering services?! point out the consequences.

Nothing much I can do about it. The rest of the team have stock. And other sources of income. Most of them are above middle range in income and do not have to worry about it. Yeah, they say "we must fix the cash flow to help you out of this situation" and that's about it. It's always nice words, but few weeks later, nothing has changed. I have like one guy who is doing things but he is more back line support anyway. The rest? Just passive owners these days. Lots of talk, lots of other fires to be put out. Sometimes I don't even get a hold of a person for days, except for the trusted back line support guy, who is the brains of the operation anyway and valuable.

When some of us leave with a car and I say no thanks, I don't need a ride because I have my bicycle, it really means that at the moment I'm cutting overhead so much from my personal expenses that I can't even afford the bus ride. This is in fact true. And that's OK too, but I work really hard and take risks, the minimum expectation is that owners do what we agreed everyone to do and use their connections, set up more meetings in more segments, spread the word and all that good stuff. Freaking nothing this year. And then they just are "worried about my income". That's kind of like shooting someone in the face and saying "I'm worried about your face".
