breaking up: the start of something great
DESCRIPTION
Breakups hurt. But they can hurt real good, too. History is replete with breakups that greatly benefited both parties. Whether it’s personal or business — like your relationship with a marketing and advertising agency — it might all boil down to knowing when you have a dead shark and conceding that it’s time to move on to new waters. Breaking Up: The Start of Something Great is a condensed history of great breakups — from the Precambrian era, about 4 billion years ago, through Brad and Jennifer. The universe is constantly contracting and expanding, and things need to break apart for something new to be created. Whether you’re ready to leave your agency today and move on, or are just wondering if the change will be worth the heartbreak, you’ll learn something in Breaking Up: The Start of Something Great.TRANSCRIPT

It’s been that way forever.

ONE THING THAT GREAT BREAKUPS DEFINITELY TEACH US IS THAT YOU’VE GOT TO GET BACK
ON THE SADDLE AND RIDE.

The same is true in business …
Sometimes, partners reach a point where their mutual relationship no longer serves either party. They split up and everyone benefits.
Like Brad and Jennifer did.
