Congrats.
Maybe in limited partnerships, or arrangements like that where you are doing a small chunk of work it CAN work. However it seems when friends (from stories I've heard, had, and even experiences on this board) play a more pivotal role, work full time, or have to carry a bigger piece of the pie that it becomes problematic.
It's not to say it can't work. However, it seems 90% of the time it can't work because of any number of things.
-Friend not treating it like a job.
-Excessive time off, out of office, or not working.
-Doing half work, or less, and expecting full pay.
-Thinking the job is all playing with the ladies, and little true work.
