Key Takeaways
Treat business partnerships as a 'giving contest' where both sides strive to provide more effort and sacrifice than the other to ensure long-term stability and fairness.
To resolve a business deadlock, apply the 'sleep test' by deferring the final decision to the partner who is more emotionally invested in the outcome.
Position yourself at the physical and professional center of your industry's network (e.g., Silicon Valley) to maximize serendipity and capture higher-quality deal flow compared to building on an isolated 'island'.
