Deep dives
Building a Miserable Partnership
One surefire way to guarantee a terrible partnership is to have both parties possess the exact same knowledge base, rendering one of them unnecessary. This leads to giving away equity for no incremental benefit. It is also important to be misaligned in terms of time availability. If one person has no time, the other should also have limited availability. Discrepancies in money can also contribute to a doomed partnership. Lack of agreements and shared expectations is another key factor. Unspoken expectations and failure to communicate clearly can lead to irreparable conflicts. Additionally, giving away everything and doing a disproportionate amount of work at the start invites resentment and future renegotiations. Misalignment in mission, values, and lifestyle can create relentless strife, as conflicting perspectives on where the business should go and how it should be run will hinder progress. By avoiding these pitfalls and seeking partnerships with complementary skill sets and aligned goals, conflicts can be minimized, and a successful and fulfilling partnership can be fostered.
