Good; now I start for myself and this gave me power,
I broke rule one of 48
Whenever you demonstrate your talents you provoke resentment and envy (manifestations of insecurity) in others, whether they’re bosses, subordinates or peers. Of course, you can’t spend your life worrying about everyone’s petty jealousies, but you need to pay special attention to your approach with superiors because of their greater ability to harm you. They can make heads roll, although not as literally as did kings of the past. This is why it’s important to never outshine the master, your superior.
To avoid rocking a superior’s boat, don’t try to win his approval by showing off your gifts and talents. He may seem appreciative but at the first opportunity, he’ll replace you with someone less talented and less threatening. He won’t admit the real reason — that you’ve undermined his sense of security — but will find another reason to get rid of you.
That’s what happened to Nicolas Fouquet, King Louis XIV’s finance minister. Fouquet tried to ingratiate himself with the king by staging a huge, lavish party at his newly completed chateau to honor the king. It was such a great party that people couldn’t stop talking about it, which made the king feel he’d been outdone. He had Fouquet arrested the next day on a trumped-up charge and imprisoned for the rest of his life. The king also replaced him with someone whose parties were always dull, and he built his own chateau using the designers and landscapers that Fouquet had used. Fouquet hadn’t learned the lesson to never outshine the master.
Not much has changed since the time of Louis XIV, in terms of bosses needing to feel and appear superior.
We splitted cool and it is honest they did it instantly and ask for things I should not do (no problem if I work for myself but; still open for change)
NOW IT’S ON
(I will share all the inside tricks here aswell to help you guys succeed)
DISCLAIMER: We splitted in a real way, it was a roller coasting of emotions just in one hour, I told them I am worth more than 350 euro a month so I will start for my own to make at least 350 a day
We still cool! And I got supplies from them to work on my own prototypes and I will also still help them
I just gained a new really good connection,
Become a good connection yourself
(This site is a networking place also, we are like minded, at least do something that doesn’t ruin life’s, we already have the government

Overview of Law #1: Never Outshine the Master
Ensure that those above you always feel superior. But don’t overdo it when trying to impress or please them, or you’ll inadvertently make them feel insecure and you’ll suffer the backlash. Go out of your way to make your bosses look better and feel smarter than anyone else. Never outshine the master.Principles of Law 1
When it comes to power, eclipsing the boss is a particularly dangerous mistake. People in power need to feel secure in their position, superior to others in intelligence and charisma, and deserving of their perks. When they feel insecure, they lash out.Whenever you demonstrate your talents you provoke resentment and envy (manifestations of insecurity) in others, whether they’re bosses, subordinates or peers.
