View from the Summit

Twenty yearsago, when I was 35 years old, I never heard mention of a life or business coach. I was under the impression that you just needed to get in the game and figure it out. I read articles, books and news post to gain all the information I could in life and business. It never dawned on me to hire a professional that could walk me through the difficulties or more importantly point me in the right direction. 

Fast forward, it's now 2015, and my experience has taught me that it is necessary to hire an experienced coach in whatever arena I'm interested in tackling. I feel that I am capable of figuring out most problems or new processes alone and possibly even mastering them, but why would I want to travel the road alone, unaided, with no direction at all? Why would I want to invest the time, resources and energy dodging all the land mines and potholes? Why not pay a professional that has walked where you're headed, rather than get all banged up yourself?

I get regularly asked what my thoughts are about partnerships. Over the past 36 years, I have had many partners, some good, some not so good. To be totally honest, I would attribute more than 50% of my stress to the partnership arrangement. 

When first starting out, it looks exciting, fun, and adventuresome and it can be, but there are also numerous considerations.

I want to bring to your attention a few very important considerations to implement into your current partnership or to strongly consider when forming your next partnership. These are a few things I have come to find important over the years.
