roles and responsibilities

when running a business it is really important to trust who you work with to get something done and to get their side of the business done properly. when you lose that trust you love the connection.

it is really important when you are working with one or more people in your business to set the guidelines up immediately, even before you begin the business. punkster is split between the business side and the creative. i am in charge of all things punkster, i do the design, the slogans, the marketing, the shoots, the vibe of the brand, the feeling we give off to the outside world, the partnerships to create bigger and better punkster everything.

then there is the business side, which i do not have much skill in and i entrust to my business partner. she deals with all things money, bills, stores, invoicing, inventory, etc.

now thats all fine and ideal, but sometimes the line between creative and business gets . . . messy. and its hard to figure out who does what. its also hard when you aren't in the same place to keep on top of eachother and know what is getting done and what isnt. its also hard to be on the same page when you are talking to clients about whats going on with their order.

so yea, partnerships are hard to do.
