In my opinion I have found a tremendous benefit to working with someone else (as long as they are involved and being productive)1) having a partner gives you someone to bounce ideas off2) To me it's more motivating (ex, let's see who gets in front of more people this week)3) They can help finance your growth  with you.As long as you and your partner are motivated and skilled enough to succeed, you will do more than twice the amount of business that you would do alone, and make half of that.Hope this answers your question.
