Scenario

When business partners face different personal pressures affecting shared sacrifices

My business partners and I agreed to take minimal salaries until we hit certain revenue targets but now that we're close one of us wants to renegotiate because their spouse is pregnant and we all understand but we're also afraid that if one person breaks early it will be easier for everyone to give up on our original plan.

More people experience this than they realize.
