Be accountable to your role, until both partners change the structure of roles established. Create and support the intent to continually place a working plan into action, review the results of the action taken, and making expedient and necessary shifts that will support the health of the partnership over the lifespan of the alliance. If possible get the support of your immediate support system established before entering into partnership. Have planned, regularly schedule meetings on a weekly basis. These meetings will be set up for the purpose of discussing the wins and challenges, what's working and what's not, areas of discord and mutual planning for future growth and expansion.
New ventures take time to be planted, watered and nourished, weeded and ultimately harvested.
