Friends and business friends (friends by utility)

I know the difference.

For the most part, friends are in your personal life.

Sometimes people with whom you do business become friends...by doing the things that people in your personal life do. Sometimes you have to decide which is more important to you - the "friend" or the "business associate." That's a hard decision.

For the most part, it is unadvisable to "go into business" with a friend. Even worse with a family member.

I've learned the hard way! There is a fine line NOT to be crossed! I try and keep it simple and appreciate the difference between friends and acquaintances.
