Lets all be friends again ..... for my seek !

Last year a couple of my pals decided to start a small business. A cafĂ©, like Toast Box or Ya Kun, only theirs would be selling crepes, waffles and with higher priced coffee at the heartlands. But these joints are sprouting around town right? Many have done it to various degrees of success & failures. My pals are just being bored & a couple of them has been lay-off recently. They have some money, so looking forward to some investment, something to occupy their time.

They ask me to join in the fun. FUN ? Business school don't teach you, but common sense should warn you about never sharing a business with your best pals. When money is concern, even family will fight. I told them my concern & they brush it off. It'll be great they promised me.

Fast forward 8 months, now the 4 partners/friends are not talking to each other anymore! Anything & everything that could go wrong, went wrong with their venture. In the past we would meet together for birthdays etc... one time. Now I've to meet them separately for all their birthdays, my birthday & whatever day. It's getting exhausting.... for ME! This weekend I'm holding an intervention. Our almost 2 decades of friendship should be able to weather anything.... I hope ! Wish me luck.

Lets all be friends again ..... for my seek !
