Brian and I are working on a project called “Partnership Profits” to help raise money for UNIF USA (a fantastic organization that Brian’s a part of).
Anyway… while we were making the outline for the project, I really got to thinking about the amazing things that have happened in my life since I began partnering with people.
Just as one example… Brian and I met in JuneĀ at the Philadelphia JV Alert. We actually didn’t really talk too much again until July, when he asked me to help him brainstorm ways to make money for UNIF.
From there, we decided to make a membership site that promptly got us about 100 members.
In that same month, we started doing copywriting. I had never done any writing for other people before (with the exception of a PLR pack when I first started IM), and thought the barrier to entry was so much higher than it was. Brian had been writing ebooks for people, but hadn’t written copy before.
Anyway - we were able to leverage each other so well that in 4 months, we went from $500 a sales letter to $3000 (and rapidly growing), have RIDICULOUS testimonials, and have assisted in some major launches with big-name Internet Marketers.
It’s just crazy!
And when we partnered with JD Swanson on other projects… the amount of stuff that we got done increased exponetially! (Our highlight was raking in $30k in 8 hours.)
I tell you this not to brag… but to illustrate how much potential partnership has.
Brian and I, for example, complement each other because he’s shameless in getting clients (and I mean that in a nice way :))… while I hold him accountable when he starts to miss deadlines.
If you can find people that complement your skill set (one great quote that I heard recently was, “If you spend all of your time trying to strengthen your weaknesses… at the end of your life, all you’ll have is a bunch of strong weaknesses.”), the sky can literally be the limit.

1Rachel,
This is very inspiring because it seems to be so true. Everyone brings their own skill sets that can be useful. For example, I could use someone to keep ME from starting to miss deadlines
I do wonder how you go about finding someone to compliment you, though I suppose it’s probably from trial and error or luck.
