Get Clarity in Writing
June 29th, 2009 |
Over the years I’ve had to sign a lot of documents while doing business, plenty of contracts stipulating the details of particular agreements, duration of service and consequences in the event of contract breach.
I was fortunate to receive guidance early in my career from an industry vet who mentored me for a while. He made two very important points regarding agreements that have proven true for me:
� Agreements are only as solid as the individuals making them, and
� Agreements are rarely for the parties involved; they serve to minimize third party interference.
Point one is a reference to character; no matter how nice the deal may seem to be, success often comes down to who you are dealing with, not what you agree on.
Point two is about the nature of the game. We all want to get paid right? Well, there are plenty of folks who would love to get paid at your expense.
Holes in any agreement appear like a bullseye to those who seek gain by creating division. If you and I have an agreement which is both clear and thorough, an aggressive third party would have a hard time driving a wedge between our relationship and our desired outcome.
I have done business with long time friends, family members as well as people I hardly knew. The singular difference between a good or bad outcome has always come down to clarity in the contract language.
Make sure you get clarity in writing in all contracts and agreements!
