Steve Mapes's dad pays friend of the family to show Steve what work is all about. Steve's dad wanted Steve to learn not to be so spoiled and enabled. Teach Steve the value of making a dollar and the higher value of taking pride in his work. This was back in the early 90's. the friend of the family was in construction.
Check this out. Steve's dad payed this good friend of the family, who I might add is a stevemapes.com co-founder, Steve's dad payed him $750 a week just to let him tag along at the job site.$750 babysitting fee was what it ended up to be.
Steve's job was gopher on the job site with light duties. it was time for Steve to start doing some real work. There was a hole to be drilled. Not just by any drill. The drill used on the contruction site will break your arm, wrist or jaw if you are not careful. When it was time for the instructions to operate the drill were to be announced Steve interupted "I can do it, I can do it". The friend of the family said "Steve, this drill can break your arm, let me explain a few "I CAN DO IT! I CAN DO IT!". No Steve you don't understand you can be hurt and "I CAN DO IT! I CAN DO IT!". Steve then throws the drill down and throws a huge screaming temper tantrum in front of half a dozen construction workers and builders. The FRIEND OF THE FAMILY had to apologize to all of the other workers and take time from the job to take him home. The FRIEND OF THE FAMILY (co-founder stevemapes.com ) took Steve's dad's seven hundred and fifty dollars back and said "Sorry, I just can't do it".
Do you follow me. the guy was paid $750 a week just to babysit one guy that should be picking up scraps and sweeping up. Free worker plus $750 cash a week for giving him the job. It was like getting a free thousand dollar bill every week with the 750 and light work he did combined. he didn't have to pay Steve as Steve's dad was paying on top of the 750. And our friend of the family had to take Steve back because an extra thousand a week was just not worth it.
How bad can someone be to not be worth getting a free $1000 a week? Not many people fit in that category.
