Pros: The Glitter and Gold of BFF Business Ventures
Pinky Promises Turn Profitable
Starting a business? Scary. Starting a business with someone who knows you better than your Spotify playlists? Priceless. When you tackle the entrepreneurial world with your bestie, you're amplifying that trust factor. You both pinky swore to be awesome together!
At Soul School Yoga in Toronto, Ontario, we embark on journeys not just through the physical realm but through spiritual and entrepreneurial realms as well. Let's explore the harmonious blend of friendship and entrepreneurship, highlighting the pros and cons that come with embarking on this sacred journey together.
Chatterbox Meetings? Yes, Please!
Say buh-bye to boring boardroom meetings. Your brainstorming sessions can now include inside jokes and the occasional meme warfare. Plus, communicating in GIFs is totally acceptable. Prep for productivity wrapped in layers of LOLs.
Emotional Safety Nets, For the Win!
That breakdown after your pitch gets rejected? It feels just a tad softer when your BFF-turned-business-bud is there with open arms – and maybe a pint of ice cream. Emotional meltdowns are met with understanding, not raised eyebrows.
The Hustle Gets Happier
Working round the clock feels way less clockwork and way more adventure when you're hustling with your human diary. You're not just building an empire, you're creating memories with your entrepreneurial soulmate.
Synchronized Superpowers Activate!
Your dream team dynamics are off the charts. You complement each other's skills like peanut butter complements jelly. Your bestie's yin to your yang means you've got all your bases covered, from creativity to analytics.
Cons: The Facepalm Side of Mixing BFFs and Business
Professional Pillow Fights
Disagreements? Oh, honey, they'll happen. And because you both know exactly which buttons to push, those professional pillow fights can turn into Game of Thrones real quick. Brace yourself; winter is coming!
No Secrets in the Startup Kingdom
Remember that time in Vegas? So does your bestie. Mixing personal and professional lives means there's no vault deep enough to bury those "what happens here, stays here" memories; they might just resurface during negotiations (oops).
Work-Life... What's That Again?
With your bestie by your side, work can infiltrate everything. Date nights, family dinners—suddenly, you're pitching to Aunt Mildred over Thanksgiving turkey. Remember: There's a fine line between "Always hustling" and "Never chilling."
Feedback Frenzy
Besties call it like it is, which is AMAZING until it's not. That brutally honest feedback on the logo you designed at 3 AM might sting with the force of a thousand bees, despite knowing it's said with love (mostly).

Remember, whether it's mastering Yoga or starting a new business, the journey is as significant as the destination. With the right approach, going into business with your best friend can be an enriching experience, deepening both your friendship and your shared dreams of success.
