Hello all,

Something has sort of dawned on me wondering who to have as a business partner. Why not a parent?!

The thing is, after cutting out many of my friends from my life due to trying to improve my life and get away from bad influence, I literally have no friends other than a few good ones (who I honestly wouldn't want to partner up with). I do have a girlfriend but she is not of the Fastlane mindset so I wouldn't want to have her as a business partner either.

A positive is that my parents, especially my dad, are realizing the slowlane will not be enough to retire on. I have a very strong and positive relationship with my dad (and mom) and think that perhaps we can work together. also, my dad ran a pretty successful laptop repair company which used to bring in around 10k a month which was semi-automated, today it only brings in 700 a month and he doesn't ever even work on ii or visit it (not bad for automation).

What is your opinion on partnering up with a family member as a business partner?
