New here! Can really use some business advice
Hey all!
New to the forums but have heard and cross paths through several threads on here before. I decided to sign up because I'm really resonating with the content on here on different levels (Business, Personal, Relationship, Universal). I wanted to ask for some advice and didn't really know who to turn to. So why not ask here to get different opinions. I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post this but I figured I'd start here.
I run a small lifestyle brand based on cycling. We produce lots of media content, films, and have a short line of softgoods (T-shirts, Sweatshirts) and have plans to produce more. I started the company solo and one of my friends wanted to work with me after he saw what I was doing. We've been doing this for 2 whole years now. We haven't sold much but recently been offered a business opportunity to produce commercial content for a company that produces cycling gear. We'll be shooting a commercial spot that will be 40 to 60 seconds in length.
When my partner and I scheduled a meeting together with this company over the phone he never showed up. What I mean is I called, left a message and texted him with no response. I went on and proceeded with the interview and pretty much and 75% of closing this deal. I have to send my proposal and see what they say. My partner has never got back to me yet but is liking my facebook post and my instagram post. I'm not sure what to do because I don't want to take on a big project that will take lots of commitment alone. I really need him to be on board with this but I know he can be notorious for missing on on stuff.
He's played an integral roll for the company thus far but just not sure how to handle this. Especially since I don't want to turn down this project as I see this as an opportunity. Has anyone ever been in a situation such as this? I don't mean for this to be so heavy in length I just don't know exactly how to handle this situation.
