When you get into a business relationship or go into any other type of relationship, it's important to establish expectations and consequences for when those expectations are not met. This is the main cause for partnerships to sink and things can get really messy if the ship goes down. If properly communication can be delivered and met, with a deep understanding of the under person, then you don’t have a partnership, now you have a relationship. 

 

Partnerships are loose agreements that you will go together now, but there is no future guarantee that the agreement to be together will last. So don’t focus on creating partnerships, focus on creating a relationship and together you can create a ship that never sinks during storms.
