@Jameslawz Жыл бұрын
That was the first thought I had when I heard Tej's reaction, it's a conflict of interest. For 10% Tej ain't gonna make this brand the best thing on the shelf unless he's the owner. Also I never like hearing when people say "the market is overcrowded" yeah that doesn't mean you still can't push your product otherwise what's the point of business? What's the point of doing anything? That's simply not a good enough excuse for me personally, even if it is super crowded and it's controlled by a handful of players, well then you have a monopoly in an industry which IS VERY ILLEGAL and can be taken to court. We work in a free market not a controlled one. This was simply a conflict of interest and Tej basically dodged his questions by saying "there are competing brands already", "it's been done before" etc.

He should have taken the deal. Even if he had done nothing good for that specific business, it would have brought him access to a lot more knowledge and network, which would have been worth millions, a few years later, with or without this business. This was a short-sighted decision with no long-term mindset and with that mindset no business has a long life. The company went bust in 2022 and the guy is paying for it.

The entrepreneur missed a perfect opportunity to tell Deborah the reason she can't read the fine print & he can, is because he consumed some of his own product - she should too.

I would have taken that offer honestly, I think he dropped from 40% to 25% that’s quite a drop for a dragon and having his help full time I think they would have made a good duo I think he made a mistake there.

@@blackcat4859 The most important thing is that that this guy is a nobody in the retail business and that extra 5% to get an established businessman’s network and mentorship is cheap. He made a mistake because his product isn’t anything new or easy to sell either.

So he basically preferred to save 15% (Toucker 35- his 20) instead of having Toucker and his experience and contacts. Now he has to grow his business to the point were 15% makes up for Toucker's "loss". I think it would be difficult for him, given what Tej pointed out, and the fact that he is still young and inexperienced. I would have at least tried to negotiate Toucker down to 30 or 33 percent, and eventually settled for 35%.

I don't blame him. If he took Touker's offer he'd have lost quite a bit of equity in a market where even the other Dragons weren't convinced they could compete. Touker is just chancing it because the guy was smart and there was a punt he'd make it work.
