Q: Barry, you seem to cast a pretty harsh light on business partnerships. Why are business partnerships so difficult?
A: Partnership is marriage without the sex since it takes excellent communication. Don’t choose a partner because you are lonely. Get a mentor then. Choose a partner that complements your skills. Have a legal agreement in place from the start to govern your relationship since getting into a partnership is much easier than getting out. I mediate a lot between partners that do not get along and it can be war 🙁
