If you're experiencing uncertainty while considering a business partnership, the best thing you can do is bring it up now. Don't give the issue time to fester and eat away at the foundation of your business - your founder relationship.

Hard discussions will never be easy, but it's helpful for you to think about why you find the discussion difficult. If the thought of bringing up your issue makes you squirm, you should question whether you're ready to lead a business. On the other hand, if you just know that your cofounder won't hear you out or get defensive or volatile, then you should stop to examine whether you really want to be in business with this person.

This is another video in Brett's Business Partnership Mastery Series, where he will be diving into both the philosophy and legal nuts and bolts of mastering business partnerships. If you are a current or future business owner, you will definitely want to stay tuned for videos in this upcoming series, so make sure to subscribe!

Inspired by the content in his book, Partner-Proofing Your Partnership, Brett will touch and expand on the primary concepts he fleshed out in that short read which you can find here:
