Equity

It’s the goal of a healthy balance sheet. Equity is powerful when it’s positive. Having negative equity is scary because if the business fails, the debt still stands - and you’re toast.

Relational equity is hard to come by. It takes many deposits of listening, trust, and respect. We all walk around with relational balance sheets. Some friends have lots of equity and others… not so much. 

Equity is tied to trust and safety. Having equity on someone else’s balance sheet can help that person grow. With love and grace you can cash in a little equity to confront or challenge. Which, if done correctly, will grow your equity even more. 

Confronting or challenging without equity is like borrowing more money to get out of debt.
