A very helpful advice that my mentors imparted onto me is that when you choose your business partner/cofounder, do it such that the person you chose complements you. What that means is that he/she is strong in the areas that you are weak at. This allows you to focus on your strength and compensates for your weakness.

Another important note is that you need not like the person you work with. Think about it, what are you working for? I hope your answer is money, if not then please ignore this. If you think about it, money has no feelings. As should you. This by no means, means going and robbing a bank or anything that extreme, but it does mean business should involve no emotions, while at the same time be ethical.
