Comments on: THE QUINTESSENTIAL “INDIAN SME PIGEON” http://ramesh-menon.com/2008/08/the-quintessential-indian-sme-pigeon/ If you burn your finger in a pot of boiling water, should you blame the water, the pot, the fire or yourself?

I remember a good friend of mine once told me that most partnerships break because of one most critical element, which he used to mention very often ” Most partnerships break when all the partners do not contribute more than what they take from the partnership”. It seems that this does make a lot of sense. Mostly partners form their comfort zones, forming groups with people who they are comfortable with. More importantly I think, people get lost in the corporate dream and forget about the immediate business needs. Mostly new start ups suffer 80% because of lack of funds and more often than not the other problems are triggered by this one factor. I think having a healthy cash flow in the first few years is one of the critical elements for a start up to be either successful or shut shop<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('20','Maahir'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Nice thoughts.
