You don't get along with your business partner - what is the answer?

If you want the business to survive, the two of you must learn how to get along, that's it. To two of you must agree, that it is OK to disagree, as long as there is mutual respect between each other. Good communication skills are critical to the stability, and survivability of any organization. Lack of appropriate communication is a major contributor for failed businesses. Both of you must learn to respond to each other rather than react to each other. This means learning to listen, take in information, assimilate it, and think about it, without letting your emotions interfere with what is being said. It is at times difficult, but both of you must practice. If not, the alternative is going to be another failed business to add to the statistics.
