Practically every Associate at some point wants to become a Partner, and most Founders want their Associate to become a Partner. But “time served” is for prison sentences – not ownership in a business.

If you’ve got an established Associate knocking on your door, asking about when they “get to become a partner,” this episode is for you. Push play.
