A Guest Post by Gypsy Rogers
After ten years of happy marriage to her fifth husband, mom finally imparted some of the wisdom she acquired through a lifetime of relationships . The two most important pearls she shared are:
1.“Don’t pick your relationships because someone has qualities you like. Everyone has qualities you can find attractive. Pick them because their faults don’t drive you crazy.”
AND
2. “Divorces are made before you say ‘I Do’.”
Having experienced several failed business partnerships (and two divorces) myself, I believe that establishing relationships with business partners is nothing short of a business marriage. In fact, there’s a much stronger incentive for dishonesty in the business relationship – hence the reason you’ve formed the relationship in the first place: money.
