It doesn’t work — there’s no practical mechanism for a D to 🔪 a P

You throw $ at the D and keep them happy.

I would find it hard for this to happen because that one P isn't the only one looking at you. I am sure in your deals you have come across other P's so you would naturally approach them about becoming a P.

If that doesn't work time to re-think who your RL is and change that to build a business case on what you bring to the company or consider switching teams.

In our practice, the D & P together need to bring in 2X of a partner target in order for the D to make P.

Partners! I'd like to ask how you differentiated yourself from other senior managers. I get the basic stuff, sell, work hard, client relationships etc, but I'm assuming there are many SMs that boast the same trait. Keeping the obvious aside - what's that oomph factor to reach the pinnacle ?

Pretty highly rated consistently and up for director this year. For years been thinking of starting a business (franchise). Pandemic has put a dent in that but still viable option. Gross profit is 350k (median) and a line of business I’d be very interested in. Clearly this is less pay than new parter (but could open more than one eventually) and risk may be higher for failure. What other factors should I consider when evaluating staying to partner or trying my hand as an entrepreneur?
