Picking Who You Work With
Man, this one is a big deal. I’ve heard it said that a business partnership is much like a marriage, and I believe this to be very true. Not only do you need to enjoy the person(s) you’re partnered with (you’ll be spending a lot of time with them), you need to be compatible with them. By that, I mean you have to have the same values and morals. You’re going to be making decisions with this person that will influence your financial well-being (conversely, you could also be making decisions that don’t put you in jail for fuzzy math). It’s so important you’re all on the same page when it comes to those big picture issues.
