Why would you want to team up with someone else, when you can call your own shots and have autonomy all the time, especially online?

The power of two, for one thing. It's based on Biblical principles, starting with the concept of marriageAdam and Eve.

Two heads are better than one . . . there's power in numbers . . . old adages, but true.

Like marriage, it is most important to choose your teammate(s) wisely. Depending on what your objective is, it may be more advantageous for you to team up with a member of another "category" or two. For instance, if you are a middle-aged man or woman, you might consider teaming up with a teenager if you are planning to be involved with computers, etc.

Conversely, if you are a young single person, you might consider joining forces with a retired person or two, especially if you are planning to offer products or services involving gardening, for example.

So do your choosing according to expertise, not according to whether or not you are a social "fit" with a person. Your friend or acquaintance might be the most honorable, likeable person you know, or you might "owe" him a favor. But if he doesn't know beans about your chosen business, you might as well team up with a monkey.

This might all sound like some pretty elementary stuff, but you'd be surprised to learn that people commonly choose business partners the way they choose mates . . . they base their choices solely on "like" and camaraderie, not on whether the potential teammate has any appropriate expertise at all.

We've all heard that business partners should be chosen as carefully as a mate. And that's fine . . . if you really would choose carefully. However, with the divorce rate in the United States hovering around fifty percent, it is pretty obvious that many don't!

The bottom line key here is not to let your emotions get involved. Of course, you have to have some rapport with your intended business partner(s), but be sure to let your head rule your heart.
