Well lets talk about doing free work as partnerships concerned. When you go into an business adventure with verbal agreements they are basically invalid. Always get signed agreements before you do anything. People can play nice all they want in the beginning with smiles and laughter. It comes down to this period – business is business.
A lot of people will screw you over when it all comes down to it.
Doesn’t mean you would do it but others will. So, basically watch what you do and back up you. It doesn’t mean you are a bad person. It shows the other persons that you are serious and you can quickly find out if they are full of shit or not.
When dealing with people you need to remember they have a set plan and if it doesn’t go their way you need to watch out.
Sometime the best thing is to do it on your own then you wont have these issues. If you need to work with others keep this in mind also. Its not suppose to be like this but people will and do bring their personal to the work place EVEN ONLINE.
