What happens if it doesn’t work out? The conversation is never enjoyable and it’s almost always a little painful for one if not both parties. I want to propose that it doesn’t need to be this way. Further, I want to propose a prenup of sorts: if we break up, it’ll be okay.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I want this to work out. And my commitment to you is to communicate openly and honestly. I will listen to your feedback and adjust when needed. Because when we communicate without hesitation, we can accomplish great things together. But there can be times when circumstances change – the goal or need may change.
Why do I bring this up as something that you should know? Because I want people to know going in, that they will be heard, and that feedback (complementary and critical) will be welcome. Entering into any relationship can feel like a lot. Just knowing you will be heard and that if, heaven forbid, you want to break up that it’ll be okay gives peace of mind.
I hope Strategy 3 is your marketing company ‘til the end. The end being a really, really long time. But if our ‘til the end is shorter than originally thought, that is okay too. The nature of our relationship can change – and being a betting kinda gal – I’ll wager that we’d still be friends.
