"from having a sustainable business that will generate fewer abusive relationships" As in relationships with women|men I have found that you can usually spot the pains in the asses as tips of the iceberg way before anything is signed or any job is started or on the first dates. The question is of course do certain people have the skills to spot the warning signs (in context of course and not over react) and some don't? And just like the desire for sex causes people to act irrationally and ignore warning signs does the need for money do the same? FWIW, I had a developer who did a 60k project for us about 7 years ago that wanted no money down at all. After he and his team did a fair amount of work we insisted on sending him $15k. I felt bad for him. I guess he didn't have enough experience to know what could happen. Project was successful, he did more work and was paid more and is currently given about $500/m for just being on hand to answer his cell phone in case of any issues. Which he does.
