When someone says, “He’s a mercenary,” run.
And don’t stop running.
Stay far far away, never be tempted to hire or partner, no matter how desperate for help.
People with the characteristics of mercenaries are psychopaths, pure and simple.
They simply can’t think of anyone and anything other than themselves.
They will destroy everyone and everything that stands in their way, including you.
Even if you’re the boss, even if you’re the owner, even if you feel untouchable.
No one is safe from a psychopath.
Stay away.
