I've been thinking about the relationship between business partners. When you're working with someone, you have to deal with their personality, their charisma and their company's culture. That's a lot of things to consider when you're working together. And I think it's important for both sides to take care of each other. It's not just about finding someone who has the skills that you need, but also about finding people who are good for your business partner too.
One of the most important things is to remember that your partner is not you. You may be the visionary, but your partner will have ideas of his own. You must be willing to listen to those ideas, and even consider them if they're good ones. The best thing you can do for your business partner is listen to him and consider his point of view without making any decisions just yet. If you're a decision maker in this partnership, remember that it's not just about you two; there are others involved as well, including your investors and board members, if any.
