Ep197 Should You Go Into Business With Someone Else?

The Sam + Jo VA Show

Show Notes

Shouldering the responsibility of running a business, wearing all the hats and knowing the buck is always going to stop at you can feel heavy.

So heavy that it often puts aspiring VAs off from moving from lurker to launcher.

Too heavy some days that even well-established virtual assistants feel the temptation of bringing on a partner to lessen the load.

On paper, who wouldn’t want to go into business with a ride-or-die biz bestie who will always have your back?

Imagine having someone at your side to bounce around ideas, keep you motivated & inspired, do all the things you aren't great at, and who is as excited and committed to the business as you are!

Sounds like a bloody dream ... right?

For anyone considering entering a business partnership, we urge you to listen to this episode first.

You’ll learn:

The conversations you must have before going into business with someone. The alternatives that will provide you with what you are seeking. The parts of Jo’s failed business partnership you’ve never heard.

Sub-Contractor, Freelancer or Agency Owner?
