Nick Perry argues successful entrepreneurs pay the entire restaurant check instead of splitting it. Calculating individual shares creates awkwardness and damages relationships, he says, while covering the bill preserves the connections that lead to million-dollar deals.
Successful entrepreneurs don't split the bill, not just because they're richer than you, but because of this thing too. See, unsuccessful entrepreneurs go to dinner with 6 friends and spend 20 minutes calculating who had what. Whereas successful entrepreneurs pick up the whole check. They don't do any calculations, definitely no Venmos, and avoid all awkwardness. Because they learned at a young age that cheap is the most expensive thing you can be. It costs you relationships, million-dollar deals, and high-quality friendships.
