The Person You Never Want To Partner With
Posted By admin on June 6, 2010
Many business owners at some point consider partnering with another business owner. Sometimes it is a collaboration that lasts only long enough to accomplish a specific goal, while at other times it is a longer lasting relationship. In either case, I encourage you to be very careful about who you partner with, and I offer you one tip that some people have to learn the hard way…
Don’t partner with anyone who is “just like you.”
You see, while the business relationship may be stress-free and quite enjoyable, it will almost never lead to outstanding results because the two of you will bring the same skill set to the table.
For example, if you’re a writer, it wouldn’t make much sense for you to partner with another writer because that’s a skill that you already possess. Perhaps you should instead partner with a financial whiz or an IT guy who can complement the talent your business already has in place.
That being said, there are some things you want to have in common with your business partner, including the same level of commitment and integrity, but the items on this list are few in number.
The same advice holds true for personal relationships, but that’s the topic for another blog. 
ow this is the bomb but yet so darn true
