Kevin and I are planners so we plotted how we would work together and which boundaries we would choose. We have some rules of engagement that we follow pretty religiously (which I think can apply to all partnerships):
Divide and conquer – never work on the same project or even the same part of the business at the same time.
Prioritize – communicate openly with each other about what your priorities are and make sure they align.
Have an exit strategy – if all were to go to h*ll, how do you use your priorities to make tough decisions and what would that exit plan be?
Other than those, we did kind of jump in head first knowing that it could be messy. We happen to have complimentary skills and work really well together so I would consider us lucky in that regard.
