My Mission to Save Business Partnerships Everywhere – By First, Asking the Right Questions

70% of all partnerships fail, usually ending in miserable and very costly emotional and financial conflict.

In my 25 years of experience, I have found that the issues facing business partners each day are not unique, but the individuals who make up the partnership are. Smart partners get the guidance they need before getting too deep into the relationship and business.

If you simply honestly and candidly ask and answer these questions at the start of your business partnership – or later on if you skipped them – you can save yourself from a miserable and costly end.

1.What part do I want this business to play in my life?
2.Why do/did I want a partner?
3.Do I trust and respect my partner?
4.Have we written a business plan including detailed job descriptions for each of us?
5.Have we talked about every possible What IF Scenario* www.businesspartnershipsolutions.com and addressed them into a partnership agreement based on both our business and personal visions and intents?
6.Have we discussed, written and signed an exit strategy that includes every scenario we can envision?
7.Do we show up without fail for a meeting once a week at least?

Here are some tools to help you to fill in the gaps and ensure the success of your business partnership relationship.
