# Who is paying the bills? # Who is paying the bills One way to get clarity is to ask “who is paying the bills?” If someone is paying bills in a professional capacity, who is paying *their* bills? Someone can multitask (Elon Musk etc.) or subvert (Softbank with Saudi money? ) but when a hard decision comes up people will go with whomever is paying the bills. ### Related - [[It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it]] - [[Innovation orgs need to be aligned with their money factory]] - [[People always spend money for a purpose]] <!-- #stub --> [Web URL for this note](http://notes.benjaminreinhardt.com/Who+is+paying+the+bills) [Comment on this note](http://via.hypothes.is/http://notes.benjaminreinhardt.com/Who+is+paying+the+bills) <!-- {BearID:802DA0FD-D7D9-4374-A619-739D0B73B14E-742-000055929A43B209} -->
