    We've Done Projects for Google & Ericsson... Now What? - Advice Needed

    We had a little bit of time now (a couple months) where no new work has come in. We have potential prospects we are working on at the moment and hopefully they materialize. I just want to be more aggressive

    Hey! Yes we have. Maybe it's like you are saying. I want to grow the business very quickly and aggressively and they have other priorities / wishes for it. It seems like with most human relationships the solution is always the same, communication :)

    Sorry to go back to this Paul but you have been very helpful so far. In this message did you mean it would be worth it for me to look at groups like BNI, 4N and so on or do you think it's pretty much a waste of time for my specific case?

    Yes he absolutely is! I totally do not plan on ever ending our partnership at all. I just thought that's maybe that's how he felt in wanting to possibly retain that control. No I haven't planned on contacting them directly myself because they are his contacts. I don't think that would be fair...

    The business is 50/50 between the two of us when it comes to the shares of the company. That being said, I usually receive more money than him from the projects as I actually deliver them. This, very honestly, was never something I proposed but something he proposed instead.

    We don't have a formal plan where we have laid that down yet. Quite frankly it all happened so quickly that we didn't need one and the roles/responsabilities have been quite clear between us from the beginning. I want to be involved because I don't see the downside in doing it. In my mind if we...

    I totally agree with you. That being said, I don't think the dynamic is exactly the same. In your situation you were actively seeking giving up control. When a business is in its infancy there is a different power game beneath it. We are partners. He brings the clients in for project I know...

    Haha, you're absolutely right. I promise I don’t speak like that with clients. We definitely focus on selling the outcome, no need for tech-speak in those conversations. The technical stuff only comes up when we’re working with agencies, but when it's direct to businesses, I know I’m talking to...

    Hey Ozzy, The main reason is that there’s not a whole lot I can take away from his process. We’ve talked about it quite a bit, and it really just comes down to a network he built over the years from working at big companies as a Producer, Google included. It wasn’t some repeatable strategy or...

    Hey Paul, Thanks so much for helping out, I really appreciate it. Yeah, exactly. That’s why we make a good team. Without me, there’s no delivery, and without him, there are no clients. He’s great at bringing people in, which I can’t really do right now, and I handle the actual project work...
