Business is like marriage.

You choose partners, and you see how it goes.

If you have the wrong partner or do the wrong things, your marriage fails.

Fine.

You failed at marriage.

Now don’t fail at divorce.

Parting ways with business partners should be handled with dignity and generosity of spirit.

No one wins in a bitter contest over the kids and the cash.

You’ve screwed up your marriage, now don’t screw up your divorce.
