Just telling my side of the story but it really sucks when a so called friend cuts you out on a job you were talking about doing for months. I definitely do not care about the money end of this one It's just the principle of it.

I used to hire a neighbor as a second cameraman for my side wedding business mostly as a favor to him as he needed the cash. Had him signed up for a wedding one weekend and at the last minute he tells me he took another job that weekend and left me scrambling to find a replacement two days before the wedding. Funny thing is he didn't understand why I was so pissed off. I let him have it and never spoke to him again. People are funny. No good deed goes unpunished. You're a class act Ron, don't let it get to you.

When you own a business you have no "friends".Only business associates. I just retired from corporate ownership (sold my factory and retired well). My wife was the first to notice that people who acted like my friends stopped calling when the money dried up as I was no longer signing the front side of checks to them. I knew it would happen and tried to explain it to her. Conversely there are annual trade shows for my former industry and the new owners are setting up booths at those. Through a contact I heard the people I worked with over several decades were: shocked that I sold out and retired,missed me, and had very nice things to say about my business ethics,ability, and desire to help any and all that asked. That made me feel pretty good.

Mr. Bond, you are amazing. Of all the videos of yours I have watched over the last few years, this is the most impressive. With no one watching, and no one helping, you made sure the finish on the concrete you had placed was perfection. That's the attention to detail that when things get wild and tough comes into play to make a difficult job still be a success. Well done, Sir! PS: I noticed you pulled all that wire mesh up into the larger job.... 🤪 PPS: No. You and your crew don't need to be a backup to someone that isn't honorable.

G'day Bondo, It's not a nice feeling to find out that you've been "lead to believe", that the job is yours, then they get in someone else. I'm getting a thicker skin, as I get older. Your story about being left sitting on the bleachers, is all part of "the joys of being self employed" I was left feeling let down, after a similar incident, and a wise old man said to me, as he held up his five fingers, "If you have this many good friends in a lifetime, you'll be doing ok" I'm lucky, I have a few good friends that have stuck by me through thick and thin, mind you, i think that one of the tests of "friendship"is if you can still work together after some fairly big disagreements.

Sometimes it's best to just walk away and avoid any future headaches . My two cents from your Canadian brother ✌️🇨🇦

When you depend on someone for work and they change on you it feels like a betrayal, but he said he had more guys that he thought and did not expect to show up! Still he should of called you about his dilemma! He was probably overwhelmed at the moment and as an afterthought realized he cut you out! Things happen sometimes, just do not depend on him next time, but it was most likely an error in judgement. Roll with the punches, speak your mind, and let it drop! You still have jobs with him!

You pretty much did the right thing. I wouldn't write the friendship off entirely... just set another boundary or two... no more joint projects without adhering to some pretty firm rules. I would no longer recommend him for jobs I can't fit into my schedule or jobs I don't want to do... at least not until he lives up to promises he makes a few times. I'd still be cordial and all... but, yeah, I wouldn't even consider working with him and I'd make sure he knows why... but then outline what has to happen if we are every going to take on a project together - like half the revenue upfront before you even BEGIN to consider making room in your schedule... NON-REFUNDABLE if he cancels/uses somebody else. Otherwise, it's nice to see him and all that... have a beer or whatever... but yeah - a boundary or two.

I've been in business for over 40 years, you will find you have friends/Business associates that will be there when you call, and some when its convenient to them, figure out which is which and treat them accordingly. Be careful that you don't find yourself as one or the other dependent upon your needs, we would like to think we hold ourselves to a higher morality but with deeper reflection and honesty to ones self we all fall short at times. Good luck in your Business and life.

There's apologies then there's amendments. Someone who is an adult who respects me and amends a mistake with me, I stick with. Someone who I can't trust is halfway nice but is always apologizing to me I don't have time for. That guy's just looking after number one. Sorry you had that experience, no fun.

In Buisness over thirty years, doesn’t include working with my granddaddy as a kid, he was a WWII D-Day veteran, he always said.” Excuses are like buttholes, everybody’s got one and they all stink.” Don’t worry about dude, keep your integrity, people see it, and people also know a snake in the grass when they see one, here’s another one he used to say,” you’re not working hard enough, if you are worried about your competition. All in a nutshell, treat people the way you want to be treated.

We just had an uncle whos been painting for our company for almost 20 years. He was the highest paid employee, and whenever he needed anything, he came straight to us. I mean countless favors were done for him and not a single one in return. Just a month ago he threw a hissy fit all over a project we did for a church and told him hes going to be paid hourly on just this job because its practically charity but we still made sure our guys got paid out of pocket. Fast foward a week he quit and went to one of our main clients who gives us massive projects every year and tried to under cut us from our own jobs. He quit and went to start his own "company" and tried to take our customers right out from under our noses. Good thing the guy who gives us a good portion of our jobs every year told us the situation and said that he would never use him and that we would be the first crew he would ever call for any job. All we can do now is laugh at how badly that backfired for him.

The pony is already out of the barn, but maybe business "friends" should come to a pre-agreement where if either of you commits to a job with the other a job cancelation fee applies if a cancelation that is discretionary happens. It IS business after all. Thanks for the videos sir.
