An early decision every entrepreneur must make is whether to go it alone or to take on partners. In The Founder’s Dilemma, Noam Wasserman suggests the decision actually comes down to whether you want to hold power or become wealthy.

While that may be generally true, for many it comes down to whether business decisions will be emotional or objective. And that’s not to say one way or the other is correct. My observations of entrepreneurs would suggest that those who want to maintain all the power have a greater vision in mind – a vision they are willing to put above profit.
