Episode 40 Asking for what you want the key to have commitment stick in your Business and Life partnership Idea no 3 How to make it stick (asking for what you want and agreement) In the final series today as we are connecting it all up you and I have really looked at the what, the why and now what is it that you can do next. In my view everything is solvable and by strengthening each of the pillars in the 5 step framework to build a strong Business partnership you need to vigilantly review each of the pillars frequently, perhaps even make a checklist to allow you not to forget or overlook. What we look at next is how do we easily bring this all together? The wonderful thing about being in this partnership is that you are both different and it is firstly accepting this, you will both have different management styles (hopefully because this is what you need). The dynamics that play out as an example is one could be the visionary and the other could be the executor of bringing it all together, which was def the case in my previous long-term partnership, whatever it is for you it is important to acknowledge this. How are you finding to ask for what you want, for some it is really easy for others it is tricky to get this out of our heads firstly and then to articulate this in a way that each partner can understand. In summary: 1. Commitment is about compromises and agreeing despite different ideas 2. Knowing how you make decisions cuts through the noise 3. Asking for what you want in a structured way and investing time is key 4. Acknowledging you will not always get it right and failure is learning 5. Accountability - hold each other to account and review regularly wills save you time and avoid poor performance For more information on how I help you and your partner better visit my website www.sjcoaching.com.au Hit me up and let’s explore!
