Here's the mistake they end up making:  They partner with friends and family...because they know them, and their new partner takes the "I always wanted to get into REI...so let's do it together" approach...too.There are three reasons, and ONLY 3 reasons to form a partnership, and any one of the three will do:1 - The partners each do what the other partners CAN'T do.2 - The partners each do what the other partners DON'T WANT to do.           ...and the most important, and least understood, and I believe the #1 reason why partnerships fail,...3 - The partners each do what the other partners SHOULDN'T do.
