Career change

I would steer clear of anything including partnerships...especially while you're still not 100% sure which way you want to go. It's just asking for trouble.

I fell into my current career by sheer fluke, and have been very lucky and fortunate in the way it's wound it's way to me over the last 2 decades...but I also think it's time for a change.

Once I get back from vacation I'm firing up my side hustle contracting gig up again as why the hell not. Maybe something will come of it...maybe not...but there's only one way to find out.

Best of luck to you.
 
Good points. Thanks all.
Moving on from the partner subject.
Let get back on track. Has anyone actually done a significant career?
In hindsight what would you do differently?

Why would you want a partner?

Capital? Business acumen? Someone to share/spread the workload?

If it's the latter, better just to hire a manager or employee and keep the working relationship well-defined.

If it's the former, then what do you bring to the table? Why isn't the partner just hiring you as an employee?

I'll just skip out back to the money tree. 😂
While I agree many partnerships fail, in a fantasy land where my money tree grows, it would be nice to share the experience.
Just talking things through.
 
I went from working for a company to opening my own, servicing what I used to sell. Since I had a good reputation with my clients, I didn't have to bang on a lot of doors to get positive cashflow started.

However it was a specialty market. The "Me Too" market can be brutal.
