Getting Real About Partnerships: Creating & Keeping a Great Business Partnership
Why a partnership? There are so many reasons to start or run a company with a partner: camaraderie, complimentary skill set, pooling financial resources and sharing the responsibilities of a business. Whether you are just starting out, have been in business for years, or one (or more) of you feels a need for a reset in your business partnership, this workshop addresses an important foundation of your business. The rate of failure in businesses today is higher than the divorce rate and many of those failures stem from a partnership problem. This workshop is a great place for to consider your business partner relationship. Come alone or with your partner(s) or prospective co-founder(s) and get ready to cover some of the tough questions and issues that all business partners should be clear on. We will discuss goals, roles, monetary and other considerations, values, life and work styles, and communication tips to keep partners on the same page working as an efficient team.

About True Connect: True Connect was co-founded by attorney Jaime Roth and entrepreneur and business consultant Chuck Hunker to help entrepreneurs set a foundation for healthy cofounder and partner relationships, and resolve conflicts along the way. The success of your business may depend on the health and resilience of your working relationship. All too often, with the excitement of beginning a project or the patterns that develop over time in an established business, partners give their working relationship perfunctory attention. A section devoted to who, what, why and how in a partnership should be an integral part of any business plan or strategic study. The rate of failure in businesses today is higher than the divorce rate and often the root cause is a partnership problem. When creating a business with a partner, why not make every effort to craft a work life that will bring not only financial success, but personal fulfillment? In this workshop we will discuss goals, roles, monetary and other considerations, values, life and work styles, and communication tips to keep partners on the same page and working as a resilient and effective team.
