Default Re: How Do I Find a Business Partner?

I agree. You hear so many bad stories about this type of arrangement. If you didn't have someone at the beginning building the idea, then not sure it's a good idea to take someone one now.

What you need is support to help you run your business but you retain control.

The suggestion to get a Virtual Assistant is a great one and depending on what you need, you may need more than one. Just like in a corporate office where they have bookkeepers managing that part, admin staff managing their part, web managers doing their bit and graphics artists managing their part. The VA industry is the same with wide and varied skills and you only pay for the hours worked - nothing else. I expect that's what you truly need - to be able to outsource the parts that are keeping you from doing what you do best and what really earns the money.
