Partnerships


Probably the majority of the successful male internet marketers formed one or a few partnerships on their way to success, and after reaching it keep partnering up with other successful internet marketers for working together on even bigger goals.

At the same time, the majority of the female internet marketers tries to accomplish the same task on their own. A few form partnerships with male internet marketers, and almost none (at least, I've never heard of any) create a partnership with another female internet marketer.

The question is why?

I am guessing here.

My first guess would be that women get emotionally attached to their own business projects and are not likely to take on a project toward which they feel indifferent -- that is, someone else's project.

My second guess would be that women are less prone to taking on a risky endeavor, and partnering up with someone -- especially someone you don't know all that well -- does seems to be rather risky.

My third guess would be that it's much harder for a woman to find a business partner simply because:
  • Men prefer partners who have business approach similar to theirs -- that is, other men
  • It's statistically harder to find a woman-partner as there're not that many women who are interested in building an internet business (other than darn MLM), and ready to persevere at it.
And if you find this post to be politically incorrect, I don't give a damn. I am here in search of the truth, not in search of a political correctness.
