The Costly Mistake That Nearly Sank My Business

I learned the hard way that a handshake is not a business strategy.

A few years ago, I secured what seemed like a dream partnership. A repeat customer placed a large order, and since we had worked together before, I trusted them. No formal contract—just emails confirming the details.

Then came the delays. The excuses. The endless back-and-forth.

I had invested time, resources, and money into fulfilling my part of the deal. But without a signed agreement, I had no leverage, no legal backing, and no payment.

That one mistake nearly shut my business down.
