What does a Shotgun clause and a Muffin have in common?<\/p>\n

The Shotgun Clause got its reputation from the abrupt way it puts an end to a partnership relationship.<\/p>\n

How do I explain it?<\/p>\n

Imagine there\u2019s only one muffin left to share for your 2 kids.<\/p>\n

One of the kids grabs it quick, but before he can eat it the parent cautions him to split it with his brother.<\/p>\n

The parent adds a condition however:<\/p>\n

\u00ab if Your brother prefers the piece you kept for yourself, he can take that one instead of what you offer him \u00bb<\/p>\n

Now the child holding the muffin knows that his brother can take the bigger piece and must therefore reasonably split the muffin.<\/p>\n

You see, the muffin represents the value of your business and the piece of the muffin offered by the child triggers the beginning of the end of a business relationship between partners.<\/p>\n

Offer too little and you risk ending up with that small piece yourself.<\/p>\n

Offer too much and you risk eating a pitance.<\/p>\n

The shotgun clause puts an end to the relationship, with everyone eating reasonably.<\/p>\n

Just make sure you\u2019re using the right Muffin recipe.<\/p>\n
