Want To Be Partners?
More often than not, partnerships fail. They fail for one main reason:
Crossover.
There are two types of crossover to consider. Crossover in work ethic, moral compass, and mission is vital to assumed. When you discover you’re aligned with someone this way, it can be exciting. It turns out, as romantic as it may seem, a common worldview won’t cut it.
The other, more detrimental crossover is in hardwired work traits. If you both hate building spreadsheets, have little patience, and love to network, you’re toast.
It turns out that finding a partner should start with finding yourself. Spending time learning about yourself will reveal your blind spots.
Pro Tip: It’s likely wiser to offer employment to cover your blind spots than to “partner.”
