This week we’re talking about partnerships. Partnerships are often formed because there is some aspect of business that you don’t want to confront. In general, we don’t recommend opening a practice with a partnership (with few exceptions). This episode, Brian dives into the challenges that business partnerships face, and how to overcome and confront that which you don’t know.
Episode at a glance:
- 50+% of all marriages (the most common partnership) end in divorce. However, that number has been dropping thanks to the millennials who are getting married later.
- The two biggest reasons for partnership feuds are time and money.
- Don’t seek out a partner because there are areas of business you don’t want to confront.
- Don’t tie yourself up with tasks that are not physical therapy related that you can outsource – such as billing. You can always hire team members with knowledge and skills in areas you are weaker in.
