To protect entrepreneurs from getting taken advantage of, legal battles and more, Bet-David makes distinctions among strangers, acquaintances, friends and best friends in business, and he describes the defining characteristics of each. It takes a long time to find someone who you can truly trust in business, he explains. You can't force it any more than you can force love by marrying a stranger.
He also breaks down seven types of lies people tell, from white lies to plagiarism. Learn how to identify and respond to people of different trustworthiness levels, he advises.
