Good Morning Felicia. Thank you for this excellent article. It is so true. When one invests her entire self into the client’s world via a business connection, it truly is so easy to blur the lines. And to forget. Yet the good news is that the relationship, even though it is based on business is still enjoyable. And it’s often close, depending on the circumstances. It was, as you pointed out, just never meant to compete with your BFF and confident ( the one with no business connection)

I will definitely save your article and refer it to others.
