A worldy-wise business guru once wrote:
A business partnership is about two things: partnership and business. Women entrepreneurs look to partnerships for the relationship benefits, not the monetary benefits. As a result, they don’t focus sufficiently on the business (money) considerations.
Smart or just cynical?

I wish I were better at creating financially profitable relationships as easily as many of my male counterparts appear to.
