When business partnerships strain lifelong friendships

My best friend and I started a business together three years ago and now she wants to take it in a direction that feels completely wrong to me, but I can't tell if I'm being stubborn or if she's lost sight of what we originally cared about. We keep having the same conversation without actually saying what we mean and I can feel us growing apart in a way that scares me.
