I recently saw a business-inclined movie and in one of those scenarios where 5 people came together to build a business and needed investors.
Initially, the leader of the crew had spilt the shares among his two friends that started with him, his father who had been investing from day one in his dreams, and his cousin who did jobs for them without charging them only asking for 1% of the company's shares.
Now, when they had a mentor and needed to have a CEO and a product designer (this is how they got to five, they were originally three minus his parents and cousin). Their mentor outrightly told them no one will invest in their business idea, why?
That's because an investor will always look to the one who owns the highest share. This person has to be someone who has everything to lose. That way the chances of folding up and running off with everyone's money will be slim.
In the end, the team decided to give the biggest share not to the CEO or the leader's father but to Him. Why? He was the one who had everything to lose. He is the one who had the back of the rest of the people in the crew every single time. And they left the future of their proposed company in his hands and it worked.
Why I'm I even telling you this story? This is because you are saying the same thing. A business or organization or marriage won't function effectively or for long if the foundation isn't solid proof, if it's shaky, and if the people are not sincere enough to stay till the end, to do their part to make it work.
This just goes to say people want to build what they can trust. I think I've seen a movie like the one you narrated but with different plots, this goes on to show that foundation is an important aspect of business. Although I don't know if it's everyone who shows this level of consciousness but then it's the reality of life. Thanks for the comment
