Do You Really Need A Business Partner? Here’s Why It Rocks To Have A Business Partner
“Two is better than one, because when one is down; the
other will help him up.”
The
Scriptures
Today’s business world is filled with successful
partnerships.
Take a look at some
of the successful brands and fortune 500 companies, and you’ll see that they’ll
started out as partnerships.
Examples of such firms
include, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Youtube, Yahoo, Myspace, et al!
If you’re planning on starting a new business, consider
partnering with someone—a responsible person.
What Exactly Is Business Partnership?
For those that don’t know what business partnership is, here’s
just a brief definition.
Partnership is simply an agreement between 2, 3, or more individuals
to control a business!
It’s as simple as that!
For those looking to partner with a business owner, you
should be willing and ready to invest your time and money to establish the
partnership arrangement.
Here’re some factors that must be sorted out before
establishing a partnership arrangement:
- Who’ll finance the business?
- The role of each partner ( sort it out)
- What happens at the demise or absence of a partner?
- What judicial steps should be taken when one partner wants to go his way ( there should be an arrangement for this).
However, it’s recommended for a lawyer or attorney to be
contacted to write the partnership agreement. Kindly acknowledge this
If you manage a startup, or a new company, or you’re a
business owner considering going into a partnership deal, then below are some
vital reasons why it pays to collaborate with someone:
1. There’s Deep Commitment and Accountability
Running a business with somebody makes you accountable and
responsible because you won’t want to let each other down—which will lead to
more productivity.
Partnering with my friend, Frank was the best decision I
ever made.
Our new firm (which is just 12 months plus) has moved from a
non-tidy warehouse, to a well furnished and fully air conditioned 5 room
offices with 9 employees!
Having a committed business owner makes you accountable for
your business operations and finances.
If you’re the careless
type, having a partner will gear you to be more accountable because, you know
that if you don’t play your role, your partner might scrutinize you.
2. It’d improve Your Skills
Working with another person will give you more time to learn
new skills and improve your current skills.
You won’t have to waste time learning new things; rather,
you’ll focus on improving your administrative skills.
Pro tip: if you already have a business partner,
improve your administrative and technical skills. It’d help you go a long way
in business
3. You’ll Have Someone To Cover Your ‘’Ass’’
I didn’t mean that… (just kidding).
The major reason why I partnered with Frank (a friend and
business partner), was because, I wanted to co—own a business and also have the
time to go on vacation with my dear wife and love kid , (Franca and James).
A business partner can cover you up when you’re away on a
business trip, meeting, vacation, or short break.
Pro tip: someone should cover for another.
4. Having one or two business partner makes
the work enhancing
5. It offers moral support and time for
productive brainstorming. You’d have more time to brainstorm on how to move the
business forward.
Partnership Take Away!

3 Reasons Why your Small Business Should Utilize Guest Blogging
Don’t you think you think you need a guest blogger who’ll be
responsible for building backlinks and churning out guest posts for your
company on a regularly basis?
Tell me, how much do you think you’ll make if you could
atleast, generate 30,000 visitors to your small
business blog in the next 6 months?
As a small business owner, you’ve certainly heard about
guest blogging, but why haven’t you utilized it in your business?
This post is not meant to criticize you in anyway, rather,
it’s meant to make you realize how much you can achieve through guest blogging.
Let me tell you something you don’t know:
I started out online with no connection, traffic, and in
debt and in the space of 4—8 months, I was able to build a blog that averages
atleast, 400 visitors daily.
Guest blogging made it possible!
If you’re reading this content (as a small business owner)
I’d assume you don’t know anything about guest blogging; right?
For the sake of the people just hearing about it for the
first time, let me briefly explain:
Guest blogging is the process of writing quality content for
another blog with backlinks to your site. It’s that simple!
Guest blogging is effectively and helpful in the sense that,
- It helps to drive traffic
- It helps to generate leads
- It helps in establishing a strong online visibility
- It establishes your expertise
- It makes you more money!
Having experienced the results of guest blogging in my
business, I guarantee that you’d experience tremendous growth if you utilize
it.
Having spent more than 2 years as a professional writer and
blogger, I’m proud to tell you that utilizing guest blogging in my business was
the best decision I’ve ever made.
Guest blogging alone, brought in over 5,000 visitors to my blog
within the first 5 months!
Think about what 5,000 visitors can do to your business?
Imagine only 500 among these 5,000 buys a product worth over $50, that’s a whopping
$25,000!
I owe my business and financial stability to guest blogging;
and that’s one of the major reasons why I decided to share this detailed post
with you.
Are you ready to roll with me on a guest blogging adventure?
Let’s move on! ( just kidding)
It builds Your Email List
Imagine what it feels like to wake up one morning only to
find out that over 200 people are subscribed to your email list. Guest blogging
is a sure way to make that happen.
I’ve written guest posts that added over 50 people to my email list and I’ve
written ones that added over 90 subscribers within 24 hours! If you’re on a low
advertising budget, then you should give guest blogging a try!
If you can write quality guest posts for top A list blogs,
be assured that you have the capability to add more than 50 subscribers your
email list.
I’m not saying this to convince you; no! I’m only telling
you what has worked for my business. I’m a professional guest blogger, and I
run a guest blogging service so
I know what works and what doesn’t work
Guest blogging alone has brought in more than 20,000
visitors in the past 7 months; think about what 20,000 visitors can do for your
business.
Think about how much profits you’ll pull in if you can drive
just 20,000 visitors to your blog in five months!
Pro tip: be strategic; only contribute to top A list
blogs; that’s what works!
Guest Blogging Will Build
Your Search Authority
For the past 1 year, I’ve written and published over, 289
guest posts for both myself and clients. I’ve written guest posts that have
brought in over 200 visitors in 24 hours and I’ve also written ones that has
brought as low as 10 visitors.
In fact, some of my blog posts rank on the first results of
the search engines.
Think about it; imagine what it feels like to rank for a competitive
keyword in your niche?
Imagine how much profits you’d pull in
Pro tip: Guest blogging will improgve your SEO and
build your domain authority if you go about it the right way.
Guest Blogging Builds a Raving
Social Media Fan Base
Do you know that guest blogging can help you get up to 40 Twitter
followers within 24 hours?
During my initial days as a guest blogger, I only had about 10
Twitter followers but when I started contributing quality guest posts to top
blogs in my niche, I grew my Twitter fan base to over 200 in 2 months!
Pro tip: if you want to utilize guest blogging just
to build a fan base, then include a link in your posts and encourage others to
follow you!

to give guest blogging a try, you should contact me.

ANNUAL BLOG REPORT XI
I have now been blogging for 11 years and published 2705 posts. My intention is to continue to publish stuff on EGO blog for at least 11 more years..., but I must admit that I have been thinking of putting the blog on a temporary hiatus.
One reason for taking a blog break is that during the years of blogging, I have been adding new blogs to my content creation portfolio. At the moment, I am publishing additional content at the following places:
It could be hard to update all the above mentioned blogs on a regular basis. I will ask my fellow bloggers and contributors to write guest posts now and then. You will soon be able to read posts by a new guest blogger, Daniel Adetunji of Infowland.
As I wrote in my post, ANNUAL BLOG REPORT X, the main thing for the future will still be my EGO podcast on BlogTalkRadio. I have an idea to start a new site focusing on new media broadcasts in contrast to the mainstream media stations out there.
Pajamas at the Gate
I am planning to contact Influads for facilitating sponsorships of my podcast show.
One For You, New England (The SSP)
What kind of stuff will I publish in the future? I will go back to the philosophical core of EGO and write more posts on epistemology (reason), ethics (egoism) and politics (laissez-faire capitalism), but I will also mix it up with funny cat meme material, due to the fact that "Internet is made of cats"...
Internet Is Made Of Cats
As an ending note, I want you to stay tuned for my new project, Americanized.org. Please go to John Cox's post, Website Banner Commission, and read the comment thread and you will get "insider information" about the work of art.
