#17 TRUST

Business relationships can feel like marriages oftentimes.
I mean - you would not be the first one if you spent MORE TIME with your founding partner than with your spouse…. 
And one thing I hear  A LOT when people consider starting or struggle to continue such a partnership: „I need to be able to trust them.“

Such a lovely, innocent sentence. 
YES - trust is crucial for any committed relationship. But it has way less to do with THE OTHER person than you think! 

Here is another translation of this cute sentence: 
Please continue to do what you are doing today…. Don’t change, don’t surprise me. Be predictable. ONLEY THEN - can I trust you. 

And if we know one thing for sure - people change. People do illogical things. 
Humans are unpredictable. 
That’s a fact. 

And if you tie your ability to trust somebody to their NOT-CHANGING - you are building this important aspect of a fruitful relationships on a VERY wobbly fundament. 
Actually - NO fundament at all. 

Tune in to figure out how to tackle TRUST instead!
