Why you should read Let's Go Into Business Together

If you’re thinking about entering into a partnership, you’re probably too close to your new venture to be able to see the pitfalls clearly - much like the early stages of a romance. The "partnership is like a marriage" theme may seem a trifle hackneyed, but when something is basically true it tends to get repeated. Azriela Jaffe’s straightforward, easy-to-read book includes checklists you can use to see if you’re really ready for partnership. You need objective advice to face the reality that you are entering a relationship that, no matter how exciting in the beginning, holds real potential for turning ugly later. This book will help you navigate territory that may be more hazardous than you think. getabstract.com recommends it to entrepreneurs who are considering a partnership, as well as to those wearing their current partners around their necks.
