What does partnership mean?

Having partners in business is very important to keep your morale up and to get the information you need to run your business.  What exactly does it mean to have partners?  Strictly speaking, we enter into partnerships by agreement, either verbal or written.  You can buy books about partnerships or scan the Internet for sample partnership agreements.  One thing I've discovered is that you can benefit by having partners that supply you with the information that you need without having any of the responsibilities or obligations of partnership.  These relationships need to be cultivated and can be very useful.  How they happen is somewhat of a mystery to me but when the happen they are very helpful.

Kitchener-Waterloo Executives Group started on LinkedIn and Facebook

I'm a strong believer that Executives with medium and large companies in Kitchener-Waterloo have many power financial and organizational contacts that can  be a big help to entrepreneurs.  I now I've received some mentoring from some Executives that has been invaluable.

About a year ago, I started the Kitchener-Waterloo Executives group on LinkedIn.  I just started one on Facebook.  Most Executives today are of a generation of people who do not use social networking for business or personally, but the next generation will.  These groups are set up for the next generation of executives who will be ready to share their experiences and advice online. 

They will be a tremendous help to entrepreneurs and will also bring value to their own businesses.  One need only look at the use of Facebook by companies to learn more about their customers and to improve service and quality.

Kitchener-Waterloo Start-Ups Group Created on LinkedIn

I've just created the Kitchener-Waterloo Start-Ups Group on LinkedIn.

My business is need of partners who have experience with Google Translate and the Revenue Models for Social Networking Websites.  I thought starting the Start-Ups Group would help others find the pieces the are looking for to build their businesses in Kitchener-Waterloo.

I will not be actively recruiting people for this new group, but rather seeing who will be attracted to joining through organic growth.

I look forward to reporting on the growth of the group and if anyone knows of individuals meeting the needs of my company, please have them contact me.
