Jesus Gabriel Mendez prioritizes work above all else except family, and says any partner must accept that his business comes first. He treats relationship expectations like client agreements: clear, upfront, non-negotiable. This works for some people and not others.
The same way that you do with a client, the same way that you do with a seller. You set expectations the right way in the first place. For me personally, as a man, work will always come first. It will always be my number one priority outside of family, right? I'm sitting at this desk for 10, 12 hours a day. So obviously things might not work like a normal relationship will, but that person has to see that in the first place and know that, hey, you're going to be with a guy like me, you're going to be with any other guy that's successful at a high level and really focuses on his work. And that's the reason that he's there in the first place. That's what you have to deal with, right? And some people are for it, some people aren't. But I know that, hey, if anything comes in the way of my business, which is how I provide for myself, for my clients, for my family, it'll never work out. And I'm not here to waste my time.
