Jumping Ship


How many times have you heard of the phrase “Like rats jumping ship” referring to people who do not have the intestinal fortitude to stick things out and remain when the going gets tough. Well that phrase exactly describes the weak minded individuals who cannot foresee the long picture and are only looking out for themselves during the startup phase of a company. When creating a company be prepared to start dealing with those individuals especially when they are unsophisticated investors who are ignorant and unwilling to think out of the box.
