On the topic of having a partner. I am constantly coming up with cooky, sane and insane ideas of ways to make money online. I have been doing this seriously over the past year.

My sister is very supportive and is a great writer. She recently finished her first novel. I am the artistic, out-going, in-your-face, I-don’t-have-a-job-and-nothing-to-lose person who gets shit done and she is the “write-on-inspiration” “I’m-in-the-Masters-program, I’m-busy type of person.(to sum things up)

Whenever I come up with an idea she’s all over it. She wants to have some part in it but one problem…

She’s not really doing anything…

And constantly asking me everyday…:”are we rich yet” in her exact words. She has written MAYBE 2-3 articles and feels like she deserves HALF of everything I make when I or “we” launch. She really just sort of invited herself to be apart of this project, as if she’s entitled to my earnings and to be my partner because shes my sister.

I havent been saying much, just sitting back to see if shes going to put out more. Did I mention that the couple of articles she has written are not even ones that I told her to write for the site…UUGH, it was what SHE wanted to write.

To make a long story short, IM SICK OF IT!

I could use her skills if she would stop giving me so many excuses…she would be an excellent source for creative content that my readers wont be able to get anywhere. The content is adult and my sister wrote an erotic novel. See how that ties together:)

Either way, I’m sick of it and I want to get everyone’s hands out of the pot early thats not doing anything, even if it is my own sister.

What should I do?

I’ve just started working with an outsourcing organization so I can get help with some basic tasks. Plus, in the last couple of weeks, I’ve started working with a woman named Susan who I met on one of your conference calls.

I agree with the divine intention aspect of meeting people and choosing to explore how to work with an other person. I’ve had a couple of false starts with other people. Looking back, I learned from each experience whether the “working partnership” lasted a few weeks or a few months.

Now I think, business is not a business if you work alone.

I’ve already had a couple of informal meetings with them….. a lesson I learned in running a small business was that with the right person or people working with me much much more could be accomplished.

I’ve done it (business) 2 ways, as a lone “one man show” kind of small business and also as the “employer”. But so far I haven’t really entered a business partnership…. and I believe the people, their skill sets and projects are lining up to do so.

Love the blog, always find inspiration in your experience.

You totally deserve the success and long may it continue – keep up the great work.

When two like minded guys work together, a mastermind greater than the sum of their minds sought of joins them.

In doing real business, there will be real problems and
require real skills so that, all sort of activities can be
carries out smootly.

Can you imagine, if only a person starts google,
I might be as successful as today, but might not. Why?
Its because the power of togetherness!

Motivation, inspiration and helping each other when difficulties
are the key factor of successful partnership.

Well, frankly speaking,
in doing business, you can’t just take anyone to be your partner.
He or she must posses a skill that is needed and also can be your
supporter when your feeling disappointed and lack of motivation.

“That is why, every men needs women as a partner in their life”

“It’s Not Always Smooth Sailing – If there’s one area where most partnerships have problems, it’s communication”

Yeah, for me, this one is the common problem that we have when doing partnership.
At certain point, we agree, certain point we dont agree.
When something like this happen, we just need sit back and
discuss, which one is better. This is how
partnership works!

Anyway, good article from you Yaro.

Thanks again.

I also met this person in an IM Live event in CA last year.

Right partnership is the factor that helps you in establishing your market reputation, and finding a right partner is a very hard task you were lucky that you have got Gideon. Not everyone is that lucky, and this is the sole reason that people are afraid to enter in any partnership.

1. Decide on a business.

2. Choose a business name and have it registered.

3. Create and sign a business agreement with the help of a lawyer

4. Register your partnership by filing a certificate or registration of partnership with the Secretary of State. This step is required for limited liability partnership (LLPs) and limited partnership

5. Obtain forms of business licenses and permits from the federal offices, state government and the local government

It reminds me of when I was in college and had a few roommates – some are good… while others can be terrible.

This biggest thing is laying everything out upfront so both sides know what to expect. If you come across someone with complementary skills to yours, they can be very beneficial to team up with (i.e. you’re good at marketing and they’re good at tech).

Sometimes you’ll also have to face the facts that a particular partnership isn’t working out the best. That’s not a bad thing at all, we’re all different in the way we work.
