Two people shaking hands as a sign of collaboration

There are moments when helping someone leads to disappointment and conflicts on the part of the person being helped.

Entrepreneurial evolution may seem very easy from the outside. In reality, it is an extremely long and, as intuitive as it may be, should be a well-documented journey.

In my many professional and personal relationships, I have experienced many situations, some very unpleasant, others very fruitful.

The selection, the way we choose partners, collaborators is the first step for a business to grow progressively. Often, we make mistakes.

In the business world, choosing partners and collaborators wisely is an essential step for the success of entrepreneurs. This careful selection contributes to personal and professional development.” — Stephen R. Covey

I encountered a situation in a mastermind group that caught my attention.

One of my colleagues was very upset with his brother. His brother, who had gone through a difficult period, had been brought home by him, taken care of, helped to start his own business, and taught him everything he needed to know to run a business. The business became functional and started to make a profit.
