I think partnering up is a great way to share responsibility and diversify strengths and skillsets. I’ve found I’ve been able to build businesses way bigger with a partner than I ever could alone.
Yet, it’s A LOT like getting married. You’re sharing money and have to consistently communicate and sometimes compromise on vision and goals. Hard conversations will come up and you have to commit to the relationship as well as the future of the business.
