… When running a business, contracts are in place for a purpose. They aren’t just decorative items to adorn the filing cabinet… They need to actually have signatures on them if they’ll ever help said business…
Running a business is hard work. It’s been a rough day – one in which I’ve learned that not everyone is as trustworthy and nice and honest as I’d expect. Lessons learned.

I’ve done a lot of business over the years on a handshake and a lot by contract. I think it’s a lot about what type of business you’re in and whether you really get to know your customers and suppliers.
But you’re right, contracts are really about what happens when things go wrong.
