Get It In Writing
There may be individuals out there who tend to cloud your business judgment. People may try to deliberately tell lies to you or pretend to be friends with you just to get money, information or use out of you that benefits themselves only. It can be disappointing at times when this occurs considering you are newly in business for yourself and you are putting trust in those you feel are truly your friend. Always look at putting together a contract when partnering up with anyone or doing business with anyone. Protect yourself and your company. If the other party has a pre-written agreement they wish for you to sign, it’s ok to take your time to review it or have your own attorney to look over it before signing. Any changes that need to made to it, should be discussed before signing. Sometimes when you have the other party submit their agreement they have for you, you get an opportunity to actually see what they have in mind or expect from you. So always take the time to review their agreement carefully before signing.
