Expect The Best, Plan For The Worst


Listen Later

This week it's all about business and partnerships and how going into business with others is a little like marriage... We walk down the aisle full of expectations of happily ever after, but things can and do go wrong. How do you plan for the worst in business?

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • Don’t assume that just because you already know someone and have a relationship with them, that going into business together will be a good fit. If you don’t share the same values or ideas about size and scale, then it might not be a match made in heaven. 
  • The right team is usually a successful team, and the right team has a diverse set of skills. If you’re going into business with someone who has a complimentary set of skills to yours then you’re starting off on the right foot. 
  • Articles of association is a legal document that outlines the rules and regulations of a company or organisation. These articles exist to explain the details of a company's operations and also include financial records and information about key tasks that a company aims to complete.
  • A formal partnership is the same as a limited company's articles of association. 
  • Things to consider. What are your roles and responsibilities, and if someone doesn't do them, do they still get their share? What happens in the event of someone wanting to leave? What happens if your partner gets ill or unexpectedly passes away?
     

BEST MOMENTS

‘If I was putting all the effort in why on earth would I want to share in the profits’ 

‘Do not just rely on a handshake’ 

‘Have those rose tinted glasses on, but be realistic’
