freebird Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 How do you tell a friend that you've known for ages that you DO NOT want to go into business with them. Lately, she's really been getting on my nerves and I want to bash her head in. Now, she wants to get into a business with me. How do you tell somebody you just don't want to EVER get into business with them! I think I'd end up pounding her to death!! Link to post Share on other sites
agnf666 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Tell her honestly that you are not into going to business with her. Tell her that you are in a finacal situation that you just can do it. Just try to tell her the truth if not then go for the lie. You need to just be straight forward with her. Just Say NO!! Link to post Share on other sites
slubberdegullion Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Originally posted by freebird How do you tell a friend that you've known for ages that you DO NOT want to go into business with them. You: I don't want to go into business with you. Her: Why not? You: It doesn't matter why or why not. You don't need a business partner that doesn't want to be there. Her: But WHY?? You: The reasons are my own. Please respect my decision. Her: I just want to know why. You: I know you want to know why, and I don't want to tell you why. Isn't it good that we're not getting into business together? Her: Is it me? You: IT... DOES... NOT... MATTER... WHY. Her: That hurts my feelings. You: Better your feelings now than your feelings AND financial problems later. <end the discussion right there> Link to post Share on other sites

alphamale Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Originally posted by freebird How do you tell a friend that you've known for ages that you DO NOT want to go into business with them. Easy FREEBYRD....let's say your freinds name is Lisa. Here is what u say: "Lisa, you know, i've thought about this extensively and I've come to the conclusion that I value our friendship so much that I really don't want to jeopardize it in any way. Right now, I think us going into business toghether is a very bad idea. It' s my belief that one should not get involved in business relationships with relatives or friends because sometimes bad things happen." Then you take her out for martinis and appetizers at the local bar. Link to post Share on other sites
