I appreciate your post to me. Let me point somethings out that I feel should be addressed in my opinion.
Most of the time when I write things of this nature.... it's more or less I'm just having fun. I'm not the CEO. I'm not a "consultant." I don't want to offer my services to him. I just own the stock and hope he does the right things. And when he doesn't, like many others, I get upset.
There is something in business that every great CEO (or leader) knows... and that's when to find and ask for help. The fact that someone came here and copied what I wrote tells me something. It tells me (1) he or they are aware of my presence and (2) they have no idea what they are doing at this stage in the business (not saying I have all the answers because I certainly don't).
If you are a great CEO (or leader), then you go out and find the right people. And every so often a person will come across you and you should know when to reach out to them.
I'm not proud. I have no pride. I just see what needs to be done.
But at this point, I truly don't believe he can run a successful business. It takes hard, hard work. It takes traveling. It takes talking. It takes a level of understanding of your business. How does a immigration lawyer run a cannabis biotech? Most of these types of companies are ran by scientists and/or doctors. Or someone with extensive knowledge of running a corporation.
I don't want to be a consultant. I don't want to get paid. I don't want to run this business. I don't want to lay everything out on a message board.
But I am willing to offer my advice if and when he wants it. Get where I am coming from?
What upsets me the most is how someone does absolutely nothing for 2.5 years. Then all of a sudden "pivots." Does this sound like someone who is serious?
The first step is to recant the change of the business name. It might be painful but it has to be done.
