It is unfortunate that all people are not alike in outlook and temperament. I wonder how many forum members have started a joint venture only to find that you seem to be at loggerheads with the other joint venture partners. I see, determining whether you can get on and you all have the same view, work ethics and communal understanding before one gets into a JV relationship. I see a real problem here. We are an online community how do we determine that we will get on with the other partners; after all there has been no face to face contact. Yes there is Skype but one still has to have a lot of interaction before deciding that you are compatible enough to go into a joint venture together. I personally; have had experience of this. I am a sort of layback guy with lots of technical experience and tied up with a guy who had plenty of marketing and sales experience. Having that I thought a good tie up and I would have thought this guy would know how to interact with people. But that wasn't the case, he had no patience, criticising and becoming actually abusive if something wasn't picked up straight away or didn't meet a deadline. The sort of guy who thinks he knows everything and assumes the other people do also, and calls them a blithering idiot if they do not. Unfortunately in most cases this does not come to light until after the JV is agreed to. Much the same as in some marriages where the true nature of the partner is not revealed until after the marriage. So what does any of the members think one should do to identify compatibility.
Unfortunately you really don't know until you try to actually JV. I guess you could look up the user's previous posts, but nothing would really tell you exactly how things will go.
