Elle George is a serial-entrepreneur, disruptor and investor. Her new book, Before You Shake Hands, is the ultimate partnership toolkit with hard-earned lessons on power, betrayal and avoiding million-dollar mistakes.
Top 3 Value Bombs
1. Excitement is the enemy of clarity. Slow down and ask uncomfortable questions before you partner with anyone in business.
2. Red flags don’t go away, they grow. Ignoring misalignment early on can lead to brutal, costly consequences.
3. Leaving a bad partnership is not failure. Sometimes, exiting is the smartest and most freeing business decision you can make.
