True friendships are like investment funds..
You need to invest resources into them regularly if you want to make real profits, and the risk of getting screwed big time is always present.
Yet, unlike gambling and stocks, having a kickass network of friends, partners, and wingmen around you is a core necessity if you want to lead a joyful and successful life.
Does that mean that betrayal and painful conflicts between friends are inevitable?
Maybe, but not necessarily.
If you know how to establish solid boundaries from the get-go and effectively confront others, you can keep the damages to a minimum and maximize the good stuff.
Part of the “maximizing” process is also knowing when to fight to prevent the boat from sinking, and when to just let go of people.
Sometimes even the best partnerships are bound to end in a few years’ time.
Priorities change, and people who were once aligned in both vision and purpose suddenly depart from each other; a new cycle of the hero’s journey begins, and new potential collaborators enter your reality.
Only the strongest, most authentic, and mutually-invested relationships will survive.
The good news? Most of this process is completely within your control.
Once you understand how to quickly spot red flags, use direct negotiation skills to permanently clear misunderstandings, and get other people to invest in you to create unbreakable trust, your social success & confidence will reach new peaks.
