Might have just made a Huge Mistake

One of our companies developed a point of sale software that we started using in our restaurants. It took us about 9 months to develop and it does a lot of stuff that other software doesn't do. It works on android, runs on Linux or any operating system because it's in Java and is runs off a thumbdrive. The point of Sale market has been shit for like 3 years now so I never expected to do much with the software, it was basically coded to be used by us and a few close business associates.

I get a call about a week ago from a company in South America who also has offices in Mexico and Europe. They offered me low 6 figures for the rights to the software and another 6 figure sum for my consulting for 2 years for programming help.

I said no and I'm still trying to figure out why. I literally didn't like them. It was a great deal, but I felt like I was giving one of my best projects to some jerk offs. On top of it I would need to work with them for 2 years and basically I just didn't feel like doing it.
It's a lot of money for me and right now I feel like an idiot. I feel like I am letting my family down because of pride. Perhaps I am having a problem as I am getting older separating business and personal issues.

I'll blame the zoloft and Valium for bad life decisions....

Fuck those jerks ElGallo, you don't need them.

What you do need to do is find out the USP they discovered in your product and find a way to market it.

Too much work...

Never trust a South American. Dirty, dirty people.

Also your family doesn't need you getting stressed out by working with jerks for 2 years.

you'll live

Latin mans pride is hilarious. But if you didn't like them why bother?

They were just super pushy. They made it seem like I was just some nobody business and they are here to save me from this awful life I have. They were demeaning. I'm not used to being treated that way especially not from where I am from. My wife says I'm being stuck up and perhaps she is right...... but waving money in front of me and thinking that's going to make me your lap dog is bullshit. I'm feeling better about my decision and perhaps other avenues will pan out better and with better people.

1. isnt your family already rich
2. make them pay for being dirty south american dicks
3. show your wife how stuck up you are by putting it in her butt

My parents are rich, there 3 boys (I'm the oldest) each run different companies they own. I run a technology company, Graphic design company, a restaurant, political stuff, and finances. I do the paperwork for basically all of the businesses and work with the accountants. My parents pay us very well for what we do and we get a lot of perks. I myself am not rich but I make very good money and live very comfortably. A 6 figure pay day is a lot of money even if you're worth 10 million (which I'm not).....
