How to spot a great business partner

If you're trying to take your business off the ground, then you have to follow some simple rules. A very important lesson I learn at the very beginning is that you will have to learn how to spot a great partner, because down the road, you want to be associated with people that will have great business acumen.

1. You want to be working with people that will call you... not the other way around. You don't want to be chasing after someone. If they need something, they have to be able to call you and vocalize their needs.
   
   
2. You need people that will follow instructions. Who wants to be working with people that cannot follow a simple instruction? If they don't, you'll be wasting your valuable time, time you could have used to train someone that is willing and ready to change their life.
   
   
3. Find someone who has lots of energy and is positive. People want to follow leaders, not someone who doesn't seem to know where they are going or talk like they barely woke up!
   
   
4. Work with people that are teachable. Need I say more? Let's just put it this way, if I wasn't teachable, I wouldn't be here teaching you these simple principles. You have to be able to absorb, assimilate and have the desire to share what you learn.
   

May you be blessed to find the right business partners that your lives may prosper and that you may be able to pay it forward to those in need around you.
