Mielle Organics, Monique and Melvin Rodriguez breakdown what is a business deal or a business dealbreaker.
Transcript
00:00Deal. Deal, of course. I am like the best person to work with.
00:14No, seriously.
00:16It's rewarding to build something super extraordinary with someone that you love and that you care about
00:23and to see the fruits of your labor together and to see the legacy that you're creating for your family
00:29it's just an awesome, rewarding feeling.
00:32There is nothing better, there is nothing sweeter than building for me with my queen.
00:49For me it's a deal breaker because why are you my long lost cousin?
00:54You just came out of the woodworks.
00:56Like I haven't seen or heard from you in I don't know how long.
00:59Like don't just pop up now.
01:05Deal.
01:06Deal.
01:07Well for us it's important that we support each other with no strings attached.
01:13And that's what friends do.
01:14And so I think it's important that we support, inspire, uplift, no matter the circumstances.
01:21I think that's important because again, we want all of us to win.
01:29Deal.
01:30Because I believe in generational legacy.
01:33Deal breaker.
01:34I'm glad we think alike.
01:36If you set the precedent of just giving out freebies and freebies, how do you grow?
01:49How do you scale?
01:50As much as you may want to do that, but the reality is from a business perspective, those
01:58freebies that we gave away, we had to pay for, which means if I gave it to you for free and
02:05I keep giving it to you for free consistently, now the business is experiencing negative profitability.
02:12So how do we scale?
02:13How do we grow?
02:14And also too, it conditions the mindset of just getting things for nothing.
02:21And the reality is, as we think about how difficult it is to grow, to start a business, to grow
02:30a business, to stay in business, but to keep giving things for free, it's not fair to the business.
