How to Find the Right Business Partner

Have you ever thought about launching a business and wondered, "Do I really want to do this alone?" There's a whole galaxy of potential out there, but finding your entrepreneurial soulmate can be where the real magic happens.


I recently teamed up with the legendary Chris Albrecht over at OpenWater for an online session on "How to Find the Right Business Partner."


Throughout our discussion, we focused on practical considerations that can significantly impact your business endeavors, including:


  • The strategic implications of partnering with a friend: While appealing, it's essential to assess potential challenges and navigate them with clarity.
  • The importance of self-awareness: Before inviting someone to join your entrepreneurial journey, take the time to understand your own strengths, weaknesses, and goals.
  • The necessity of open communication: Honest and uncomfortable conversations upfront can prevent misunderstandings down the road and lay a solid foundation for collaboration.


Our discussion offered several actionable insights aimed at helping entrepreneurs make informed decisions so they can maximize the benefits of partnerships. (Please note: This content is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.)


Whether you're already in the partner-search nebula or just fueling up your business idea, this discussion will be of value.
