Hi,

I'm excited to share my latest publication "First Principles Partnerships" with you. This comprehensive guide breaks down the fundamental truths that make business partnerships work - or fail.

What's Inside:

• 10 first principles that shape every successful partnership

• Clear examples that show these principles in action

• A method to think like a Partnership Architect and build your own playbook instead of copying others
  

Why This Matters:

60-80% of business partnerships fail - and most fail in the same way. They copy what works elsewhere, stick to old frameworks, and chase quick wins without tackling root causes.

But there's a better way. This publication isn't another "best practices" playbook.

• It shows you how to: Build on truth, not trends: Create partnerships based on timeless principles

• Design for growth: Make collaborations that get stronger over time

Make better decisions. Stop Copying Playbooks. Become a Partnership Architect.
