a friend was asking me about some business related issues, and i tried to articulate how i feel about business and friendship
to me, in my opinion only…
i have friends that i cannot do business with
i have friends that i will not do business with
I only do business with 3-4 friends, and they are all businessmen
i have family that i cannot do business with
i have family that i will not do business with
I only do business with a couple family members
I do business with some people who are not my friends
I am friendly to people who are not my friends
I respect many people who are not yet my friends
I do not have many friends :p
It is much easier to do business with people who are not your friends
Business is a contractual relationship between people
Friendship is a spiritual and emotional connection between people
