KEY TAKEAWAYS
It is crucial to have a solid partnership agreement or operating agreement in place from the beginning to avoid conflicts and misunderstandings.
When dealing with partnership disagreements, it is important to seek first to understand each party's true goals and motivations.
In situations where partners have different timelines or end goals, creative solutions such as buying out the partner or structuring payment over time can be explored.
Due diligence on potential partners is essential to ensure alignment of business philosophies and values.
Trust and open communication are vital in partnerships, and regular monitoring of financials and company operations can help prevent issues from escalating.
