Scenario

When business partners overcommit beyond their technical capabilities

My business partner and I started this metal fabrication shop together but he's been pushing to take on projects that require certifications we don't have, and I've been going along with it because the money is good, but now we're in over our heads on two contracts. We both know we're faking expertise we don't have and we keep reassuring each other that we'll 'figure it out' while the deadlines get closer.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You're both complicit in a dangerous optimism that's become harder to sustain as reality approaches.
