In business, there are no permanent enemies.

So, there's this person that made me lose a particular deal because he lobbied against me. I knew it and I have intentionally refused to relate with him in the industry.

He recently called me up for us to partner in a part to deal. I just realised that there are no permanent enemies in business.

Some Competitors might not be enemies with you but they are just doing what would help them to survive and their business thrive. So no enemies and no friends there.

It's just business, nothing personal! Focus on your own game and do what it takes to succeed.

A business person that sees business competition as enmity would be at a loss. That's because he or she would turn down possible partnerships from competitors.

Indeed, in the business world, there are no permanent enemies. As long as there are mutual benefits, enemies can cooperate again.

Smart take! Business is all about interests, not emotions, doors can reopen when benefits align!

Yes, business works on intuition and instinct and I also believe that there are no permanent friends or enemies in business.

Over time i have learnt so much from others who where supposed to be my competition, but i had to bring myself down to learn.

There is no opposition in business that someone should consider to be eternal. It is all about benefits.

Being open minded is what has made some business people succeed. And not keeping opponents as enemies.
