Is it better to work with a business partner – or work alone?

Working with a partner can have its advantages and disadvantages.  Sometimes it’s easier just to do things on your own and keep your own schedule.  That is one thing that appeals to a lot of entrepreneurs.

One of the upsides of working with a partner is the built-in accountability that this type of relationship provides.  For example I’ve started a new project with a new partner and am finding that goes along very well.  We have a phone call, review our progress and assign tasks to be done before our next call.  All of a sudden there is a task to be done and a deadline to be met.

When working by yourself it is much easier to get distracted and sidetracked with things that are just wasting your time.  If you really prefer working by yourself then you should take time to stop and map out a plan.  Assign your tasks and set your deadlines just as little you are working with a partner.  If you have a clear picture of what needs to be done and when it needs to be done then it is much easier and more efficient to move forward.  You will find your productivity increase and your results will increase as well.
