Get Everything in Writing | ReWire 1887

Author: Ryan Stewman February 23, 2026 Duration: 3:01

Back in the "olden days," people shook hands when they made agreements.  They called them "handshake agreements."  

 

Your word was your bond. Communities were so small that if you didn't honor your agreement, your name would become muddied and you'd be deemed unreliable and untrustworthy.  

 

Keeping your word was tied to your ability to secure goods, land, loans, and pretty much anything of value. 

 

When I was a street hustler, you couldn't exactly make offers and have contracts written up. 

 

It was pretty much understood that if you didn't deliver the goods, it was a good old fashioned ass whippin' that would be delivered to you.  People wouldn't do business with you and your supply would dry up.  Your street cred was at risk. 

 

Fast-forward to going legit in business.  I learned the hard way you couldn't just take someone's word for it.  

 

If someone wanted to do business with me, I had them text or email the terms of what they would be doing for my company be it marketing, sales, or backend fulfillment and I would craft a document and send it for e-signatures.  

 

I had to do this because here's what I learned...........you give people a chance to fuck you over, 9 out of 10 times they do it because of ignorance, laziness, or they're down right grifters. 

 

Take it from me........get everything in writing. 

 

We're only as good as the agreements we make, but even better when we keep them.
