A real friend won't set you up for failure, he'll set you up for success.I dont know what to make of this statement since I lead this conversation down the problem of mixing friendship with business path. My friend needed a job when I hired him. I had plans for him thinking I could trust him since were were friends all the way back to the 8th grade. I wanted to open up a second shop and have him run it. I wanted him to succeed. It only took about 9 months for things to go south and I spent almost another 2 years trying to get things resolved. It was because of this experience with him I phased out my other employee and have been going it alone for the past 9 years. I wish we could patch things up cause we were almost like brothers till this all happened.
