What's this?

I don't think I ever really learned how to adult....


Meaning in business I am good at the parts that involve people and business intuition, but poor at the parts that involve structure and order. I was lousy at a one man operation like your friend. With that said I recognized it and knew I would never change. Because well....I'm lazy. I compensated by partnering up with someone that loved doing the things I hated to do. As a bonus for him he hated doing the things that I love to do. If he isn't going to change, which I don't think he will, doing something like this could actually work, it could maybe even help him grow his company even more.
