In business, arguments happen. 

But if they happen a lot, it’s time to evaluate why, and come up with a plan to turn down the heat. Otherwise, your business can become a serious source of (counterproductive) stress.

It’s Q&A Wednesday, and we’ve got a listener who’s constantly getting into scraps with their cofounder. These arguments are heated, dramatic, and steal time and energy that would otherwise go to improving the business.
