(best I can do - with a headache today - if I think of more - I'll
come back and add them at another time..)


p.s. here's a number 16.
don't take advantage of each other... don't expect miracles...
give positive feedback often and give negative feedback when
necessary (with a tender tone) - and dont ever ever ever tell
private company business to anyone else - even after the partnership
dissolves... and keep your eyes and ears open at all times for
"the cause"

that seems like more than a #16, #17, #18 etc...

I'll fix it later...
