Re: need a little help
I see you are in Florida, where in Florida (just curious).

It is hard enough to enforce a non-compete signed BEFORE the relationship STARTS, but signing one when the relationship is about to finish ... WHY??? Why would you?

The ONLY reason I can think of it so keep doing some of HIS work while building YOUR business, and, while that is understandable, every time you are doing HIS work, you are missing out of building YOUR referral base for the future.

I don't know who you are currently working for, but that non-compete, as almost useless as they are here, should have been signed *before* your employment with him started (from his perspective), from your perspective ... be glad it was not.

This is absolutely one of the major pitfalls of working for someone for a while and then going on your own, and the pitfalls affect both parties, albeit differently.

added with edit: By the way, please update your profile to include your city, that lets us know more of where you are located - thanks.
