Important Ways To Keep That Venture Rocking!
Talking is rocking for all business – it is extremely important that both the friendly partners engage in honest conversations. It’s absolutely crucial that they talk out their differences and share the solutions to the problems bothering them.
• Have written proof/ agreements – the agreement of your business should be in writing. These come in handy at times of disputes and can effectively put things in order. So this is another aspect to keep the business partnership going.
•Separate attorneys must be made to review the documents separately – in order to gain full knowledge about how the agreement affects you, you must get a separate attorney for yourself ad so does your partner. Whatever may be the case, there should be an attorney’s involvement in the understanding of the signed document.
•Draw the line between friendly and business communication-Be vocal about any important issues at the workplace. Any issue, major or minor must be approached immediately to stop them from going out of proportion. No matter what leaves the business in the office.
•Bond outside the office – discuss issues other than business when not in the office – This goes a long way towards saving both the business and the friendship. Mutual respect is enhanced, and tensions avoided.
Whatever may be the case it is important to note that the two important aspects of life, that is, work and friendship must not be let go of easily.
