Confrontation

Have you even gone into business with a friend or colleague only to find that they sat while you worked, or they took while you gave? I have. How did it make you feel? Angry? resentful?

If you have gone hastily into a business relationship without a contract and find yourself caught, confront the issue and free yourself quickly, don't content yourself with going around complaining and criticising and being a martyr.

It is funny how easily we will settle for the martyr and not confront. Yes confrontation is scary but so is the result of not doing it.

Look down the track, if you don't confront then you are trapped again in a work situation which is more of a bondage than working for the man. What does it look like? What do you look like in that trap?

You might say 'but there is too much at stake, I can't'. I say to you 'there is too much at stake to not confront'. The you of the future will be a sick, harassed individual if you don't confront, whereas if you confront and keep it clean you will be a confident, 'I did it and survived' individual.

Value your dream, value yourself and your family and learn to confront right. Don't wait until you have so chewed over the problem and you are good and mad, don't do it drunk or you will regret it. Talk to your confidant not your pub buddies, or coffee chicks, talk to the wise person who is not emotionally entangled. If you don't have that person, talk to me.
