"I am glad my partner is from mid south,
he is flexable and THAT is a very valuable trait in partnership"
Flexibility rocks for sure and also one of Neuro-Linguistic Programming's presupositions if I recall correctly...
"The one with the most flexibility has the most power."
So, so far I'm gathering this as a consensus:
1) "Just say NO" to partners, or select only 1 at most that you trust like a wife
2) For additional resource requirements, seek that from banks, employees, etc
3) Always watch your back
