Thanks for the information. If you think you can survive alone, it might be good also. Unless you wanted to grow your business, then a good partner is needed.

The terms enterprise, entrepreneurship and small business are frequently used in the context of education and small business formation. Particular countries have preference for the use of the terms in specific circumstances, for example, entrepreneurship is more common in the USA and Canada, while enterprise is more often used in the UK and Australia. Because the terms are often used interchangeably, there is confusion about their exact meaning. In Australia, the term entrepreneur has negative connotations not related to the true meaning of the word.

You know it’s difficult, so don’t just choose the first one that makes sense to you. Try to do research and then interview a few people who you think would be a good fit.

Great Article!

I started my business in Engineering Design 2.5 Years back. This was after 25 Years of my Employment. I am still alone and looking for a good partner . I also feel alone, it will be difficult to grow the organisation for the reasons you mentioned.

Thanks

sometimes don’t even think about comparison between how much you did versus your partner, as long as almost “equal” work, I say is a good partnership.

exactly…. that’s why you need to interview people and then go in it 50/50 with both of you having “skin in the game” Don’t just choose the first person you come across.

Of all the aspects of doing a business, I find this part the toughest. Finding the right business partner and then striking a chord with him/her can be a pain. One of most frequent issues that come up when you are in a very small start-up is, “I do not think my partner is working as hard as I am”.

Yes because that relationship is a full blow marriage… that’s exactly why you need to choose wisely.

Yes, interview several different people and choose the one you feel MOST comfortable with, not the ones you have doubts about.

Yes, this is exactly what we should “screen” through before a “marriage” happening…

don’t rush yourself to find a business partner, better careful rather than sorry later…

Yes… so unless you feel like you can “marry” your businsess partner, don’t create a partnership.

You know what… never say never… you just haven’t found the right person YET. You need to keep at it and don’t stop.

The people you surround yourself with the most are the type of people you become. Lay down with dogs and you’ll come up with fleas.

Its good advice, but often people want to bring their friends with them and it causes great pain later when you have to dump them. Its always good to remember you become who you hang around.
