DESIGN PARTNER, WHERE ARE YOU?
设计合伙人，你在哪里？
首先，你要问问自己，为什么需要一个合伙人？是为了减少风险？还是为了分担恐惧？如果是这样，那就不要考虑合伙人，因为这只会让事情变得更加复杂，占用更多的时间。
如果你已经具备了业务和设计的能力，你所需要的是雇用一个核心团队，来扩展你的身体——延伸你思想的头、延伸你技能的手、延伸你为客户提供服务能力的腿。
你认为加入一个合伙人会让你的业务增长两倍？利润翻倍？风险减半？事实是，关系会变得两倍复杂，利润会减少一半，冲突的机会会增加。
2022年美国的离婚率约为50%，我相信其余的50%中的50%的人都曾考虑过与自己的伴侣离婚。合伙关系是复杂的，在利益、角色、意见、功劳、资金等方面的较量下，时间变得更加宝贵。
那么，这是否意味着所有的合伙模式都注定会失败？未必。除非他们具备一些特殊的技能、人脉和……一种无法言喻的默契。这样的人存在吗？我见过。
寻找合伙人时，最重要的是他们的诚信和与你之间是否有化学作用。技能排在其次。
请问自己以下5个问题：
你愿意邀请他到你家做客吗？
如果你已经认识他：他的言行是否一致？
当他的意见与你不一致时，他是否盲从，还是能提出清晰的理由？
他的职业道德与你是否一致？
你们是否有共同愿景？
好的合伙人不是找来的，而是需要时间去适应和逐渐成为合作伙伴。就像你大部分的亲密朋友、伴侣和导师一样，他们并不是你刻意去寻找的，对吗？
First, ask yourself, why do you need a partner? To reduce your risk? Or to share your fears? If that's the case, don't consider a partner because it will only make things more complicated and consume more of your time.
If you already have business and design skills, what you need is to hire a core team to extend your capabilities - extending the head of your ideas, the hands of your abilities, and the legs that serve your clients.
Do you think that adding a partner will double your business growth? Double your profits? Halve the risks? The fact is, relationships will become twice as complex, profits will be halved, and the chances of conflicts will increase.
The divorce rate in the United States was around 50% in 2022, and I believe that 50% of that 50% had contemplated divorcing their partners. Partnership relationships are complex, and under the struggles of interests, roles, opinions, credit, and funding, time becomes even scarcer.
So, does that mean all partnership models are doomed to fail? Not necessarily. Unless they possess some special skills, networks, and... an indescribable chemistry. Do they exist? I've seen them.
When looking for a partner, the most important thing is their integrity and whether you have chemistry with them. Skills come second.
Ask yourself the following 5 questions:
Would you be willing to invite them to your home as a guest?
If you already know them: Are they consistent in their words and actions?
When their opinions differ from mine, do they blindly follow orders or provide clear reasoning?
Are their work ethics aligned with mine?
Do you have a shared vision?
Good partners aren't found; they require time to adjust and gradually become partners. Just like most of your close friends, partners, and mentors, they aren't people you deliberately seek out, right?
Love.
