Learning how to build successful business partnerships can become more complicated when co-founders and business partners are close friends, family, or romantic partners.
It can be hard to draw the line between personal and professional relationships, and knowing how to prioritize needs from these meaningful partnerships takes care and attention.
Mixing Friends and Business
Maybe you became close friends and devised a joint business idea. Running a business together can put added strain on your relationship.
Coming face-to-face with various business challenges and hurdles can add tension, threaten your friendship, and block you from moving forward with your business.
Entrepreneurial
Couples
Working together as husband and wife business partners can add another level of pressure to your relationship. Whether you co-founded your business with equal passion and vision, or one of you is supporting the other at work, you’re both invested in the business’s success. However, unlike other business relationships, you don’t get to leave your business issues in the office or have space to vent. Even worse, the friction bleeds into your home life.
