Just Say No
Collaboration is important and finding the right people that understand and fit within your vision is amazing. There is a dark side of collaboration though, and this is a tough one because we usually are hesitant to say the word "no" in business when we begin. Collaborating with the right people is a dream, collaborating with the wrong people can be a nightmare.
