If you spend too much time online, you will end up finding tons of horror stories of people that have been burned by a partner of some sort. There are certainly more of these stories then there are successful ones. It seems people head to the web to complain rather than give a praise report on something. But there are in fact plenty of successful partnerships in the business world today.

A fun fact -many people do not know that Harley Davidson is one of them. The two friends started building motorcycles in a beat up old shed.

So when it is time to consider whether or not you will take on a partner, consider reviewing the facts carefully. You could take into consideration how long you have known that person. What is their work ethic? Sometimes the problem with partnerships is that people can tend to rush into them with people they do not really know. So be careful and do not give up all hope in a partnership based on what you read. You just never know what adding one more person to your project could do for the success of your idea or invention.
