I got . .. An accountant to account the amount I spent
gotta treaty with Tahiti cuz I own a percent . . .
I’m not a trader
if what you got is greater I’ll trade
but maybe later cuz my waiter made potato -n- alligator soufflé–
I got it made.
Special Ed (I Got It Made ♦ Youngest In Charge)
Oh my, he “makes fresh rhymes daily. You burn me, really?”….Special Ed echoes the value investing strategy here as, but there is more bang for the buck BPM thinks. The art of the deal is on stage and BPM likes the techniques spun on Technics-1200 here. Special Ed has a great negotiation team — including the accountant to crunch the numbers. He makes sure that he gets a piece of equity or backend participation with his owned “percent”. His philosophy is not casual trading for the sake of being a short term investor, but only if you make sure he is showing “greater” value on that deal. It’s all about the ROI. No trading for the sake of getting the shiniest new asset here – no vanity deal.
The treaty reminds us that a joint venture or strategic alliance can be critical in taking your enterprise to the next level. It may be a supply chain deal, or business process outsourcing. It does not have to be a vast international deal, but think partners. You don’t need to do all the work internally or yourself. People are specialists for a reason. Use the better resource. Partnerships are great. And for paranoid lawyers, make sure you do not cross the line into some conjured up notions of price collusion and anti-competitive behavior.
