After you have “made it” how would you treat someone who from your past who made you angry, shortchanged you, or used you during your business start-up? Would you snub the person? Would you help him or her if that person later came to you for help? Would you remind that person of the ill-treatment? It’s best to ALWAYS treat people with kindness and respect, but we are human, and it is difficult to be kind to people who have mistreated us.
