About Business Relationships
Blue Bamboo has been quite the adventure over the last year – we’ve grown from a one man operation to 7 employees and gaining. In this time we’ve learned a lot about creating great application and great business relationships. I’ve wanted to try and summarize my experience into a few key points for a while, so here goes nothing:
1. Stay well within your comfort zones. You have your comfort zones – how much you want to make, what kind of work you want to do, how fast you can deliver. If you stay within them you’ll be satisfied and work well. If you leave your comfort zone and there are problems down the road you wont have any room to maneuver, which often results in bad feelings from both sides.
2. Be Authentic. Know exactly what your capabilities are and what you have yet to learn, own up to mistakes when you make them. Authenticity builds confidence and trust.
3. Float and deal with problems immediately. There will always be problems, and when they don’t get dealt with they become bigger problems.
