why is it that every time Lee starts a thread it nearly always gets locked due to abuse by fellow members of this forum?
personally I enjoy reading his threads and if I were20 years younger (now 65) I would most likely take on his attitude to the business, get a few tips from him and expand my business big time.
so for crying out load leave the guy alone and let him share his experiences, a lot of people can learn from it
Maybe one reason Lee antagonises people is quotes like this "Your a one man band that really hasnt achieved anything,",
This is a direct quote from Lee to Dry Clean (who admittedly does seem quite a contentious person) on another thread.
Does Lee think that if you're a one man band we are useless in life in general?
There are a lot more things to achieve in our existence here on earth than building up a big business empire.
Some of these achievements are also a lot more worthwhile, not all happiness comes from wealth, material things / holidays etc
See I can criticize without being abusive😊
Good post and essentially correct.
Lee has clearly stated numerous times that the reason he has gone as far as he has is to have a bigger house, better car, fine holidays etc etc.
Lee's idea of achievement in life is material things and to be bigger, better and richer then the next guy. And boy does he like to show it off, which is the thing that annoys the more humble folk on here who are happy in life, happy with what their earning, happy with their achievements and don't feel the need to seek any recognition for said achievements.
The thing that strikes me the most about Lee's posts is that he often states how 'he's trying to inspire others' so they can achieve what he has. Yet when others have mentioned the large size or success of theirs, or others businesses, Lee is extremely quick to question their success or find some kind of fault with their assessment.
Why would someone who wants to be the biggest and best, try to encourage others to grow to be just as big, potentially knocking him off his perch?
It just doesn't make sense, it's like Tesco offering advice to Aldi so Aldi can compete with them to be the biggest supermarket.
Big companies or even big 'personalities' don't like competition, fact.
So the claim that he shares his success to 'inspire' others just doesn't hold any validity for me whatsoever.
Just to add, I just read Lee's goodbye message and it summed up what I said perfectly. In fact Lee was writing his goodbye message at the exact moment I was typing my post lol.
