Business Partners - part 5 of 1 2 3 4 5

Published 01/11/2008

Whatever approach you take to this I can promise you will be in better shape for it and so will the business. We all need support, guidance and education, and sometimes it is too overwhelming to try to achieve all of this on your own especially where old habits may be hindering.

An additional tip that I would like to share is that of change. Try something new. If you do not you are in danger of rolling out the same products and services every year and becoming outdated. Change gives your business the chance to discover a better way. At the end and start of every year I think about the partnership, what needs enhancing, what needs protecting and what needs to change and would advise anyone in business to do the same? Be the boss, be in control, take no nonsense and you will make a difference to your happiness and success.


Ask yourself this: are you performing on behalf of the business effectively and if so are you both reaping the rewards? So many in a business partnership feel the advantage and the strain all at the same time. And here is the thing - it doesn't have to be painful! In fact it can be a wonderful experience sharing a business as I have discovered personally. Over the years Annabel and I have gained so much from working as a team. I realised a long time ago that being a business super-hero can be a very difficult position to maintain! If you don't feel that you have the abilities to undertake a task as a solo, ask for help.

Tapping into new energy can make all the difference. One of the biggest skills you can master as a business partner is to recognise when you do not or should not have all the answers, where your strengths lie and those of your partners. The key to a successful partnership is to divide your roles based on these strengths.

If you have reached the end of this article and feel that you are making all of the right moves, all credit to you. By the same token, if you have reached the end of this article and know that you need support, all credit to you. If you would like to discuss the best type of support available for your particular circumstances do come and chat to me and/or the CPT team at the SWPP Convention business school or trade event.

If you are unable to do either, contact Annabel Williams Contemporary Photographic Training to find out how you can gain further guidance. One little conversation could change your world dramatically for the better. Nothing has to stay the same.
