Finding The Right Business Partner & People For You And Your Business

How much do we need to know about the people we’re in business with? How compatible do we need to be?  In this episode, Catherine discusses her own experiences in choosing the right people to go into business with, and the qualities she recommends you look for in the people with whom you’ll be sharing your professional life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Catherine and her first business partner, her mother, were a little too similar in terms of personality and strengths. This was not the required formula. Business work better when each partner has different strengths and weaknesses. Getting along with like-minded, similar people to yourself, can be attractive. but it can cause tension later on, as you’ll both want to do the same tasks, and put off the same tasks. Similar values that are core to your business are far more important. Viewpoints on customer service and value, creativity and inspiration are necessities. BEST MOMENTS ‘We’d already figured out that we made a good partnership in life’ ‘You want to be making sure their strengths are your weaknesses, and that weaknesses are your strengths’ ‘Having that first discussion around vision and values is a really simple test’ ‘Your gut and intuition are a great tool' VALUABLE RESOURCES   The Leveraged Lifestyle Podcast    ABOUT THE HOST Catherine is an iTunes No.1 podcast host of Leveraged Lifestyle, entrepreneur, businesswoman, an Inspirational Speaker, world record holder, Co-Director of Ideal-Collective.com and a mum of 2!
