What Is The Cost of Ignoring the Basics in A Business Partnership?

Business partners often call me and complain. It’s my job to listen , provide suggestions and coach them to the solution. What are they complaining about? Most often they see themselves doing much more work than their partner – putting in longer hours, working weekends. They lose trust in the partner. They resent them. They want out.

Why do people wait for a crisis to happen before they get help? Why are partners so afraid to examine their relationship in the beginning? That could be the reason 70% of business partnerships fail. They not only lose their investment – but they can damage relationships with family, friends, clients and employees.

They fear to discover what they hope is not true. They want to avoid knowing or admitting the things that may hinder the dream of owning a business. As a result, they choose to live with the anger and let the resentment increase inwardly. But in fact, it is the avoidance itself that will cause the loss. I like to compare resentment to a tooth cavity. It won’t disappear on its own and will get worse if not treated.

When my clients work with me, and openly talk about what is making them so angry they discover the issue is usually resolvable and not nearly as big as they felt it to be. Our unspoken fears seem far bigger than they actually are in reality.

It is my mission in life to do everything I can to save business partnership relationships. Because I can only privately coach a limited number of clients, I have created unique do-it-yourself tools that can be used easily by partners. I have products to meet every budget.

Let me know what is causing you fear in your business partnership!

"Never let the fear of striking out get in your way."
- George Herman "Babe" Ruth
