💥 Non-Competes Are for the Weak 💥 😤 Let’s get this straight: non-competes are used when you can’t compete. 🤑 I once paid well over seven figures to get out of one… for a company I started. Let that sink in. If your first instinct when an employee wants to leave is to call a lawyer instead of having a conversation, you’ve already lost. 😱 Lawyering up and hiding behind a non-compete doesn’t make you smart.
