   Tonight I just called it quits with my longtime business partner.

   Our relationship was about 80% generally friendly and about 20% toxic.

   She had ideas, I implemented them over the web. She fancied herself as an elite salesperson when in truth she was pretty terrible at it. We both put in 100's of hours of time, attempting idea after idea, and no results to show for any of them.

   It's been over 5 years now and all my motivation and energy for it has just tanked. With personal, web and car projects stacked up, I estimate that I should clear my schedule by June so I need any extra time that I can get.

   I don't hate her, and I know she'll be upset about this. So as a favor, can I ask you guys to send her a few quick mental well-wishes that she'll find success in her endeavors?

   Thanks all!

     @the_Effekt sorry to hear it got that far without results... Motivation is everything :( As is having a good sales/ceo/whatever. I waiting 17 years to launch my business largely looking for the right person.

     @the_Effekt We have been getting a lot of applicants. Sadly most arent making the cut but a few are.

     I hope you find that right person. It is very tough out there and getting worse.

     I'm lucky enough to have a niche with my personal work but I desperately need to expand.

     @freemo

     Even having a few good applicants sounds like a positive to me. I hope the ones you need work out!
