Business vs. Personal

When working your own business how much of it is personal and business? In this Entertainment Industry I have learned thus far that it's way more important to build a personal relationship with a person that you want to work with first. It's so hard to get what you want and what they want out of a business endeavour unless you have formed some kind of relationship. Who wants to work with someone that they don't really know? No one!!! Starting out I thought ok well I know this person so I will go see if they want to work together on some things. I was sadly mistaken. No matter how much iI think or thought I knew a person its a different ball game when it involves money. Take time and get to know what things they expect, because it will save a lot of havoc. You will know that even if it is not a great success you will have had met all of their expectations, and there's nothing wrong with that.
