A little advice..

A little advice to all those who are starting a new business. Never trust anyone! I just lost a lot of money because I made the #1 mistake, I trusted someone. If i can give advice about anything it would be to always collect a deposit and Never trust anyone!

Hope i was able to help!

its very, but it comes as a learning lesson. Ive come to see that everyone looses money, even large companies, but I hope that we can learn from our mistakes and try to avoid them next time around =)

Well just think of it this way, in most cases the people that are scamming arent smart enough to form a legit business.. I have a friend who always seemed to go to some type of scamming when he was low on money, he ended up getting paypal accounts frozen, deficit spending, and just got scammed for $3500, so now he is in $10k of CC debt... karma got him. I love honesty, its the best business practice

I kinda disagree with you. You need to have trust in a business relationship. Just make sure you know what your partner is doing. Also, have the proper safety nets in place for your own personally protection.

But, there are a lot of people who you can't trust and that is unfortunate that you lost money. Its is good to hear that you learned a good lesson.

Just a thought:

I read some where that when Donald Trump is about the enter a partnership, he plays golf with them before he even discusses the deal. He says that the way they plan golf is a good indicator of how the act in life.
