Dear Minnivei:

Maybe it is this guilt that is preventing your from feeling those butterflies (the other thread)?

You told your friend that you copied her business and she forgave you, you wrote. But you still feel guilty because you didn’t forgive yourself.

What you can do next, following telling your friend that you copied her business, is you can talk to her about a payment you can give her for copying her business. It is a practice that is done legally, in franchising, I believe. It is done before copying someone else’s business. You can make the payment after. You can discuss this with your friend, consult a lawyer, maybe… even put together a legal document as to the transaction and make it all legal … retroactively.

What do you think?
