Step 35; Trust the people that you work with and work with people that you trust.

This is an ancient chinese saying which is very important for business. The boss will have to trust his employees to do the job and the employee will have to trust the boss that they will get their salary at the end of the month.
If both sides were to worry about each other, then it is better not to work with each other in the first place. The boss should train the people to do the job and trust them to get the job done. The boss should spend more time thinking, strategising, innovating and solving problems, whenever there is one.
Whether you like it or not, we have to leverage on each other. Everybody have their own sets of strengths and weaknesses. We need other people's support and we also need to support others. It is never one way, or you will create resentment sooner or later.
If you want to be financially free, it is time you look for a team to work with. You need not be the boss to be financially free, work in a company doing what you are good at and love doing it. Put your money to work wisely and let your assets feed you. Put yourself in a position where you choose to work, not because you need to work. Talking about that, I can't wait for my business partner to semi-retire and I start doing the previews again.
