Let\u2019s be honest with you<\/strong>: the idea of starting a business with your friend sounds as wonderful and exciting as a summer afternoon with ice cream in hand. But before you get too excited about the idea, let\u2019s take a pause. Think about it: have you ever tried cooking together in a tiny kitchen? It all starts off well, until someone spills the sauce and the<\/span> gourmet dream <\/span><\/i>turns into a culinary disaster. Starting a business is a bit like that: <\/span>You have to be careful not to ruin the friendship in the process.<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n First, let\u2019s think about friendship and work. It\u2019s beautiful to work with someone we trust, but work can really test any relationship! There are days when deadlines are looming, pressure rises (those famous \u201cdeadlines\u201d), and criticisms come up that make you feel like you\u2019re taking a surprise exam. Let me ask you a question: <\/span>Will you be able to handle differences of opinion without letting it affect your friendship?<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Disagreeing, for example, about the marketing approach doesn\u2019t mean your friend thinks your skills are as useful as an umbrella in the desert. It simply means they are <\/span>adjusting the strategy.<\/span><\/i> A tip?<\/b>: don\u2019t take things personally; understanding that the other person is speaking from a professional standpoint is key to not ruining the friendship.<\/span><\/p>\n Then there's the issue of <\/span>expectations <\/b>and the<\/span> limits<\/b>, it\u2019s like when you decide to go on a road trip with a friend: at first, it\u2019s all fun and laughter, but suddenly, one wants to sing at full volume and the other prefers silence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Working together forces us to share responsibilities, and it\u2019s not always as simple as it seems. Who\u2019s in charge of what? If we\u2019re not clear, one person could end up doing double the work, and before you know it, you\u2019ll be upset about the tasks you didn\u2019t do\u2014and also because they\u2019re sitting in your favorite chair. <\/span>Another tip?<\/b> Knowing when and how to set limits. Because, while the idea of \u201cworking together\u201d sounds great, respecting personal space and time is what helps build a healthy team and prevents a series of misunderstandings.<\/span><\/p>\n Now, <\/span>What happens if things don\u2019t go as expected?<\/b> Let\u2019s be realistic, sometimes what starts with a thousand bright ideas can end up in a chaos of emails, unanswered messages, and more spilled sauce. Again: <\/span>Will you be able to sit down and talk without one of you scrolling through the latest vacation photos to avoid the conversation?<\/b> This is where the real test comes in, the one that really matters: when things seem to be falling apart. If you can laugh at everything that went wrong, take a step back, and say, \"Okay, this didn\u2019t go as planned, but we made it through,\" it means you've built a true <\/span>teamwork<\/b>And that, truly (believe it), is worth more than any <\/span>\"entrepreneur of the year\" award.<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n Here\u2019s the bottom line: friendships are wonderful, yes, but having a good friendship isn\u2019t enough to make everything flow like a fairy tale. Laughter, stories, and good times are part of the deal, but let\u2019s not forget that tensions, criticism, and disagreements will also be part of the daily routine! Ask yourselves this: are you really looking to work because you\u2019re motivated by the project, or is it just an excuse to spend more time together?<\/span><\/p>\n Final tip<\/b>: the idea of working with a friend should always be a<\/span> conscious choice.<\/b><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Spoiler: No todo es tan f\u00e1cil Vamos a ser honestos contigo: la idea de emprender con tu amigo\/a suena […]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7995,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[34,48,46,39,47],"class_list":["post-7053","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-emprender","tag-emprender","tag-estrategias","tag-limites","tag-proceso","tag-trabajo-en-equipo"],"yoast_head":"\n
