If you have a partner make sure he or she can speak clearly enough so that you can understand them, and the same goes for you. Not knowing what your partner is saying or what you are saying half the time is not a good way to do business with each other or other people, and can lead to miss information that could be vital to your business. Another thing with communication is make sure that you or your partner knows what is going on. Don't make decisions without each other because someone may have a different outlook on the situation that could help the deal or plan go much smoother than what you might have thought to be a good idea.
So make sure you can understand each other and make every move with your partner so they know what is going on.
2. Work Ethic
Are you the kind of person that will work around the clock making sure that things get done and everything is in order? If so, that is great, because in order to make things happen whether it is a purchase or a sale or negotiating you have to stay on top of things so they can get done. Your partner should have the same or close to the same work habits you do. That way you can be an unbeatable team that will take on any thing and grow successful.
So make sure your partner is just as willing as you are to put in time and effort to find the deals, potential buyers, help make the sale, or what ever else, because nobody wants a lazy partner just collecting checks and not helping in getting them.
3. Knowledge
Knowing what you are doing will only make things easier for you. If your partner knows nothing then they need to get with the program and learn a few things before they try to jump head first into something that could hurt the company or the partnership or both. Now I know there are new people out there getting their feet wet, trying to learn the tricks of the trade but, that is what they have you for or the other way around. Ask the other person "what do I do" if you don't know what to do, and make sure that the other person asks you as well if they don't know what they are doing. That way either one of you can see that the other want to learn and be ready in case this problem ever comes up again.
So if you know what you are doing and the other person does not, try to teach them and if it is the other way around, try to learn from them that way you both can be on the same page.
Over Look
All 3 of these things will tie into each other, from wanting to learn more to become a better partner, to updating your partner on information that could help your partnership, to trying to find out information that will lead to the big a pay off. If you and your partner show all 3 of these to the fullest, you all will no doubt come out on top every time, but if you don't, things can be very difficult. From seeing this myself it made things hard for my father to get things done, when he was with a partner did not care what would happen as long as he gets paid, or always disagreeing even when he know he was wrong. My father was the only one in the partnerships doing all the work. So if you had enough of your partner you might just have to let then go. You shouldn't have anyone slowing you down and don't you slow anyone else down from getting on the road to success and happiness.
