I Cannot Talk to My Business Partner
We tend to wait until the situation gets very bad before we reach out for help. I understand. Let’s get started before the communication breaks down.

Here are 6 easy (and cheap!) steps to fix your business partnership problems. My process is uniques and it works.
The 2 reasons creating a Partnership Agreement should be your first step when forming a business partnership. First, the protection a Partnership Agreement affords makes skipping this step rather dumb. Second, the process of working out the terms of your Partnership Agreement will reveal potential problems and help you work them out before they happen in the real world.
If you are in a business partnership, call your bank and find out if you have a joint account. If you are “on” the account but it’s not a joint account, change it.
Never prepare for negotiations by thinking about what you want first. Start by thinking about all the possible things that would constitute a payoff to your partner.
I get a lot of calls about thieving partners. People are often disappointed when they hear the answer. If your partner takes $20 out of the bank account using the company’s ATM card and uses that money for lunch, it’s not stealing.
