To my fellow Kenpoist.

If you followed the post above "Smoke and Mirrors". My friend needs to see things from the third point of view. So I figured I would include you guys. Let me ask the following questions.When is it ok to mix friendship with business? And if it is ok would you allow your friend to train for free? How long? two to three months or indifinitely? Once your friend was able to pay again would you or wouldn't you make him pay for all the months he trained for free? How would this affect your friendship? I was always told not to mix business with family or friends because the end result is always bad. I welcome any comments and if I'm wrong for wanting to pay my friend for my lessons then let me know.
