On the other hand, there are many success stories of friends who went into business together and succeeded to together. If you have ever gone into business with a friend, what were your biggest concerns and how did work through it.

What you shared isn't happening to every business partners out there. In fact, I don't see anybody who will just run away with all the money the company has without any deep reason at all.

I mean in reality, we don't see this thing happening more often especially in those huge businesses already. I'm not a business minded person that's why I don't know some of the concerns the business partners are facing, but for sure trust is the main concern. Like you said, your partner can be your partner, but anytime he/she can be your enemy in an instant, and betray you. On the other hand, I assume that these business partners are good businessmen as well, so if one ran away, the other can just rebuild his business, start from scratch on his own since he knows what to do already.

Ohhh I remember one small business that I had with my relative. I will just share it here. We tried to build a small business. At first, it was a profitable business, and we are profiting big, but that profit didn't last for even a month because after 3 weeks, he used all of the money that the business had to buy some vices for himself. Unfortunately, I'm not the one who's holding the money that's why it ended up as a loss.

Business partnerships, folks! Trust and commitment, like a high-stakes game. You're betting on their skills. But what if trust shatters? Sad truth: some people are crooked. They'll lie, cheat, steal, racing to the top. Partner with them? Painful, big league.

Don't let fear of deceit stop you, though. Risks with partners? Sure. But massive rewards too. Find your perfect match, someone with your values and dreams – you'll soar. Take time, vet partners. Watch for danger signs: dishonest past, shaky commitment. Found the right one? Dive in, trust, communicate. Together, you'll win.
