 Business vs. Frienship Hello! I wasn't exactly sure whether this topic should be here, or should be on the Emotional Mastery forum. Well, the situation is that I'm troubled between doing business with my friends or on my own. Here is the problem: A couple of weeks ago our Macroeconomy Professor told us that we had to do a very big project of exportation. He said that the best elaborated projects would be shown to a certain organization that supports such exportation projects. Now here is the problem, he said that we could do it either alone, or in groups up to four people. Well, the case is that I have three other friends whom I am very close to, however I don't think they're taking this projecy seriously. I know that they are counting with me on this project, but I feel that if I do it with them, then it won't be done for real. I don't know whether I should do it on my own, or with them. I know that I should try to help them see it more seriously, but they just don't get accord on any idea. They are seeing this as just a school project to pass, but I see it as a potential business, and I feel frustrated because I want to be with them, but I can't advance the way I want if I stay with them. Not to mention that exclusively speaking on business, I could lose potential, financial partners in the future. What should I consider? My rational or emotional side?

 Do it alone. Your friends will hopefully understand that you want to take the project seriously. If not, then they will probably forget all about the fact that you didn't help them in a few weeks. When it comes to your future you have to cash in on all the oppurtunities you possibly can.

| Thank you so much. Yes, I believe it would be best if I didn't "mix business with pleasure", and if they truly are my friends then they will understand. I think that I have now cleared my thoughts a bit more after telling you about this. Not to mention your suggestions, they were truly helpful. Thanks a lot! |
