In the early years of our marriage, I interpreted that as trust.
Later, I understood it differently.
He simply did not care about anything that didn’t immediately benefit him.
Daniel had his own company.
Lawson Strategic Solutions.
The name sounded impressive.
The reality was less glamorous.
The company started as a consulting business helping transportation firms bid on government work.
For the first few years, it did well.
Then Daniel became ambitious.
Too ambitious.
He leased an office twice the size he needed.
Hired executives before the revenue justified them.
Bought a new Mercedes because, according to him, “Clients need to see success.”
I warned him.
“You’re growing faster than your contracts.”
“That’s how businesses work.”
“Not healthy ones.”
