Ending a relationship/agreement professionally.

Ending a relationship/agreement professionally.
A personal experience: This professional partnership agreement was entered into with high hopes and much excitement. One of those rare times when it all seems to click with details, people and timing.
HOWEVER, as the agreement got closer to being finalized with my new partners, “little” (that became huge around trust) details became nagging and then unacceptable. There was never a final agreement, it just seemed getting to the facts kept taking longer and longer and the “details” were less and less accurate. At some point, you have to slap your forehead and think…what the heck is going on. Your gut is buzzing and your trust is wearing thin.
So I wrote up all the initial agreements/statements/conversations and compared them to the current information being discussed. It was night and day and none of it bore much resemblance to the original excitement and opportunity. After presenting my information, I told them that I was no longer interested and I did not sign the final agreement. I am disappointed, but completely relieved. Trust your gut. Listen to your gut. Respect your gut.
