Business paradox:
- People will steal from you and stab you in the back and it will hurt you both financially and personally.
- Generally, you can't operate like the above is true, even though it 100% is.

"People are terrible" is typically thought of as "negativity" or something that only losers say after they've lost. There's some truth to that, but it's also true that there are a lot of really bad selfish people out there who will screw you HARD to benefit themselves.
I'll give you a funny example. A week after writing this article I found out that one of my close local friends had knocked off one of our products and sold it to a retail chain. I had given his son a gift of our product a year earlier.

When I first started doing business I met with a really rich dude with a long successful career.
"Molson, people are going to screw you."
I thought I knew what he meant. It was like 10x as bad as what I thought.
The business world is cruel and very tough!
