When Thing Fit Together (Partnerships)
Today I had a lifetime experience in business and people relations. (Ok – I cant talk about it – but I have taken a new job – yes a Job as in 80h workweek). And its much more then carefully selected – I have been 100% true to my rule number one.
RULE #1: No assholes.
Since no company (I ever heard of) has been building itself – I have gone with an extremely smart bunch of guys into something extremely difficult. Off course if 100% disruptive and huge – and potentially big failure – but that’s a given with me (as you prob know by now). These people are just hammering smart and extremely nice and humble – AND not too young AND know what they are doing.
So – today we met with a partner – and I had goosebumps from 20min into the meeting until the end 2h later. Imagine you meet a soulmate/bizzmate – that is just funny, nice, friendly, no attitude – and on top of that has everything you dont have (and will offer it to make thing happen) – AND you can actually make your bizzmate stronger and more profitable with the joint effort. THAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY for the first time in my bizzlife and Im still have a tickling feeling in my stomach and have no clue how I should ever fall a sleep again :) So the rules for a bizz partnership after today:
#2 Hearth driven – Its the only way to change stuff.
#3 Useful – think about partners/people – how they live, work, dream.
#4 Speed – can it be done in this century.
#5 Simple not easy – no mumbo jumbo – everyone really gets it.
#6 Involvement – does everyone have the needed time on hand.
#7 Innovative – no me 2.
#8 Universal – can it really change bizz in the whole world.
#9 Profitable – well we need lots of cash for new newspaper projects :)
#10 Proud – you cant wait to present it to your mum and your son.

Morten,
I’d love if you expanded on the other points as you did for Rule #1 in future blog posts!
(I’m not getting the picture either)

Great rules :-)
Keep up your spirit!

Wow, amazing checklist! Veeeeeeery useful tips.
July 8th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Okay, where do we send the check to be in on this one? Seriously, sounds like you have hit home in terms of team and environment, good luck.

Feels good to pass this ten-point checklist completely. Thank you, Morten Lund!

Sounds great Morten.
I am looking forward to seeing you back on center stage!
we need innovative and daring people like you to drive the spirit of entrepreneurship.
Great list by the way, and loved your comment about future newspaper project. Glad to see you haven’t lost your sense of humor.
See you around,
Henrik

Gzuz Mr Lund – you’re blog really IS ‘dirty slow’! (So I follow you on Twitter but always check your blog posts).
Anyways… thank you for the list! I’ll stick to it for sure! Also glad to hear that you’ve found your bizzmate! I’m sure he’s a keeper (or she).
All the best

Mortin –
Your recent posts have been really solid. You’ve got an incredible amount of insight to these processes of starting companies and I appreciate you sharing that.
Will be reading.
Cheers,
Ryan

“#9 Profitable – well we need lots of cash for new newspaper projects :)” <- made me laugh for a long time, nice with self irony.

It was the first time you had that “special” feeling? I thought that you had that “special” feeling when you met Soren and me…:)
