The Company Feeds First | ReWire 1404 (Flashback episode to 2020)

<p>The King eats first. </p> <p>Many people in business will tell you that you need to eat first. </p> <p>When I was starting out as a commissioned salesperson, I would take my commissions and not worry about the company.</p> <p>When I was self-employed, I had to change that.  </p> <p>When I set up my company, the company became the King. </p> <p>The King eats first. </p> <p>Next, comes me. </p> <p>Then, the employees.  </p> <p>The reason? </p> <p>The King is the holder of the coffers. </p> <p>The King prepares the kingdom to survive after a long period of abundance. </p> <p>When times get tough, the King has to have the resources to operate the kingdom. </p> <p>Fat soldiers won't defend a castle, so it's important the King eats first. </p> <p>Keep this in mind as you're building your company.  </p> <p>When the pandemic hit, I was able to confidently go to to my staff and say, "we're good for 6 months if we don't take another dime in.  Your salaries are covered." </p> <p>That was only possible because I was feeding the coffers of the King for years before I got there. </p> <p>This allowed us to power through and do what was necessary to survive in the kingdom. </p> <p>If you're going to be a good steward for the Kingdom, you have to pay the king first. </p> <p>The king will feed everyone else from there. </p> <p>Remember, the King eats first. </p> <p>#RiseAbove </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>HOW TO GET INVOLVED: </strong></p> <p>This planet is based on an algorithm and with every positive action, there is an adverse reaction. </p> <p>Ryan Stewman rose and overcame a life of addiction, imprisonment, divorce, and circumstances that would break the spirit of the average human being. </p> <p>He went on to create a powerful network of winners and champions in life and business creating a movement quickly changing lives one day at a time. </p> <p>Learn more at: <a href= "http://www.jointheapex.com/">www.JoinTheApex.com</a>  </p> <p>Check out this show and previous killer episodes of the ReWire Podcast in <a href= "https://po
