You know what, guys?
I decided to start a business with us three, they're my classmates, we're only 15-16 years old and also some of us are goddamn broke according to most well living countries standards, because we live in third country.
My sister, she's 14 years old started a business, maybe this business is not acceptable when it comes to CENTS, but it can be transformed with right effort, she had a budget od $10 and now after three months, she sold her first product and now she has a scalable business and regular profit.
I decided to start a similar dropshipping/e-commerce business with my friends and, we're worrying.
I am personally afraid of the idea of having profit with us three, if we'll make $30.000, then we'll split it to $10.000 to each of us, that means our business is gotta be very huge and growing, we all gotta be disciplined and you know?
I am afraid of our aspects, that all humankind had, it's greed, envy, hatred...
I am sure, that they're my real friends, but, what advice can you guys give us on maintaining our friendship, shall we end up creating our OWN businessess that are independent from each of us, and like...
My friend has a business, another friend has a business, I have a business and we have our fourth business, which is like... cooperative?
Please, give us some advices on sustaining productive business, relationships and etc.
Because our intentions are clear, only I read «The Millionaire Fastlane » and understand many, many self-improvement and business concepts from our group of three.
