Time now for a refresher from my Dr Laura Call of the Day Archives and remember you

too can participate on my live radio program heard weekdays from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on

serious XM Triumph 1111.

Steve, welcome to the program.

How are you today?

Good.

What's happening?

What's happening? Good. So I'll try to make this as quick as I can.

I had family friends.

So we have two kids, they have three kids.

All our families were very, very close and probably our best friends.

Stupidly I went into business with my best friend. I was probably, you know, 80% of not only the we were I had invented something I invented it I

brought him on board I did about 80% of the work he for the most part rode my coatales quite a bit but he probably

would have run the business part of it a little bit better anyways long story short

it didn't kind of turn out the way we want. I had invested a lot of money into it.

Someone came along, offered us a small percentage to take it to market. I had always envisioned doing that myself, seeing it through to market, and being the entrepreneur had bigger goals,

plans for it.

My best friend was a little bit more risk adverse.

A lot more risk adverse.

He did jump on board late in the game financially and his big take from the whole thing is hey if I get a

little bit of money from it good I'm good to go.

In the end he started questioning my ethics and you know whether or not I was being a true friend and he tried to force my hand and selling to a third party and inevitably I made the decision to walk away from the friendship but as I had explained it was actually not only myself but it was my whole family like we had done family trips together it was a We had done family trips together.
