Grateful: the Universe protected me and gave me a flat tire AFTER I was going 90 mph across Florida on a two lane road yesterday. Guardian Angels are REAL, we just have weak eye sight to see them most times.

You don’t have to wonder what being in an entrepreneur’s situation is like with another partner if you have been in an intimate long-term relationship with another person. No difference except in this partnership, there had better be no sex. At least not until you’re highly profitable ha.
The reality of a partnership is that you must learn to work with each other’s core values, and drivers more than anything. And there’s only two ways to do that effectively one is to gradually peeled that iron by asking a lot of questions, the other is to use the third-party to help get their faster by either employing a coach or using some sort of an assessment system that is practical and proven like my Partners that TypeCoach (shameless plug, there is a reason why this newsletter is free sucker…… just kidding).
However, there comes the time where you have to make a leap of faith and show some trust in order to get things done and complete projects in a timely fashion. There is a moment of surrender.
What’s great about this truth is that with gratitude you realize that even in that moment of surrender, you are learning and growing, regardless of whether the outcome of the situation is exactly as you would desire. You know, factually from personal experience there will be great learnings to be had from success from failure or from just a “meh” finish. You will use all the facts if you have any information available and make the most prudent decision possible with everything you must work with at that moment.
At that point you let that shit go.
Like this young man in the video who is in partnership in fun having with his big brother, and of course it is the big brother that is on the Giving side of the punch to the head and the little brother on the receiving side. Me having been a little brother and still am I understand exactly what this punch to the side of the head feels like, but it’s all in the name of fun and partnership.
Furthermore, when you double down on yourself and someone else, it only fastens your personal growth and development out of necessity. When you are working solo and goofing off and not getting anything done, there’s no one to question you on why you’re not getting shit done. That won’t fly when you’re in a partnership with somebody that is busting their butt and simply expect the same from their partner. There is accountability and a mirror, constantly being reflected when you’re in a tight partnership, which is why they’re often very productive as they expedite productivity in both of the partners, and of course, the sum total as well.
Don’t be afraid to get into a side hustle with a partner just take it slow if you’ve never done business with them and develop some clear communication protocols and expectations to avoid disrupting the quality of your friendship.
The cliché of never doing business with friends is complete and utter bullshit.
Why wouldn’t you want to do business with people you already love? That’s like saying break up with your girlfriend you love and go on Tinder and try to find someone equally cool. Why would you do that?
Yes, being in a business partnership absolutely requires trust; it is considered a fundamental element for a successful partnership, as it allows for open communication, shared decision-making, and a collaborative environment where partners can rely on each other to achieve common goals.
Key points about trust in business partnerships:
Essential for collaboration:
Without trust, partners may be hesitant to share information, which can hinder progress and lead to suspicion.
Build confidence:
When partners trust each other, they feel confident in their shared vision and are more likely to invest in the partnership.
Overcomes challenges:
Trust enables partners to navigate difficulties together, openly discussing issues and finding solutions
Find a cool ass, hard-working friend and come up with a fun idea around your shared passion and make it into a business even if it’s just for gas money for your boat. It gives you a vehicle to spend more time together and probably deduct your goofing off as a tax deduction as long as it’s completely compliant with all IRS regulations and standards of course*
*I’m no Dummy.
We have one of the coldest days of the year here in Sarasota with temperatures in the 40s this morning, so I’m looking forward to going for a walk later all bundled up to see who’s out and about and braving what would be a beautiful day in October in Michigan down here in Florida that feels like the frozen tundra.
Lastly, new purple gratitude poker chips for 2025 have arrived. Hit me up if you need one and send me a self-address stamped envelope and let’s get you a constant reminder in your pocket of your need to maintain an attitude of gratitude.
