Those of you who have partners. How did you find the right one?

Hey,
I'm yet another noob Rix or...Alex if you may.
Though I do possess some knowledge of SEO, I have not yet made any money online and In my opinion, that makes me a noob.
This might be a rather long read, and I apologize for that.Some of you might learn some things from this, even though, as I said, new to internet marketing.The most important concepts are highlighted.


Now, though I've been in this for only a couple of months, I already caught myself making some mistakes like for example, after spending some money on guru products that provided me with info I later found here, I couldn't stop dwelling on the regret, which lowered my focus a bit.

So in order to be successful at this, I decided to do the same things that made me successful in other areas, because, you see, before this, I used to make my money by teaching parapsychology(only had 2 clients) and seduction.
There's the myth of the lonely entrepreneur who did it all by himself, but everyone who made it big had help from a couple of people that helped compensate his weaknesses.
So... teaching seduction...

My first partner - How it started: I and a like-minded person, Mike, needed money, and he noticed I was having quite some "luck" with the ladies. He asked me how to impress a girl, my advice worked,so he then told me to help other guys do the same, for money and give him his share for supplying me with clients.
At first i wasn't ok with that because, being a parapsychologist made me more spiritual, and after all, what I was supposed to do could have easilly been called by some other name.
Also, from what I knew, some clients wanted you to go to clubs would them and teach and demonstrate there, something I couldn't do because #1. I was too nervous thinking some bad luck would send the most angry girl my way and embarrass me; #2.I didn't like club girls; #3. I had a girlfriend.

After first telling him the first reason, he made me realize that I shouldn't have that fear and that the thing I feared was only in my mind. Then, after telling him reasons #2 and #3 ,he understood and said that I do have the right to choose my own terms.
So we went on with our plans and made some money.

My second partner - How it got ruined:
I have quite a lot of Romanian friends in Canada. They're former colleagues who left, or former acquaintances who left after hearing how friendly the Canadians are.
So, after taking his language exam, Mike left, because he was sick of the economical place Romania is in right now.

That got me a bit sad, but I knew another guy who has been asking me to teach seduction for the people he finds and I said ok.

After some time, I noticed that he was making me do all the work, as his idea of bringing me clients was for him to tell me where to find them and me to contact them and convince them.

In fact, whenever we had a problem, the only help he'd provide would be a very general "Believe in yourself, then solve it!".

When I would complain about it to him, he'd say we have problems because instead of taking action and solving them I complained. When I took action, and still had problems, he'd say I didn't believe in it enough.

Then, he became greedy and started pushing me for more and more profits, so, eventually I stopped working with him, but that only made him give me a bad name to whoever he knows.

So, some partners can help, some can ruin you.

Now,after the boring story is over, how do you go about finding someone to work with?
By this I'm asking for places, what attitude do you project and how much time do you spend to learn what kind of person he/she is?

Thank you all for your help!
