If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Two heads are better than one. United we stand. If you are a business owner who wants to significantly increase market reach, break down barriers to entry in your market, or simply generate skyrocketing revenues in a shorter amount of time, these old adages are becoming more and more relevant.
If you are an aspiring joint venturer who needs to acquire some key knowledge before making the decision to jump into this new world, or if you have already made the decision to start a joint venture but don’t know where to begin, this “How-To” handbook is for you. Also, whether you seek funding or not, the information in these pages will give you the proper foundation for achieving your financial goals.
This book’s mission will be two-fold: First, we will dive together into the technical aspects of joint venturing (JV), and I will give you the nuts and bolts of what a joint venture is and how to make yours successful. I am also going to expose some of the myths and realities of joint ventures so you can avoid the major pitfalls that are sometimes associated with this unique partnership. Second, I will cover the Eight Critical Factors of Success in the next eight chapters.
1) The Right Partner
2) Timing and Vision
3) Organization
4) Business Planning
5) Human Resources and Skills Integration
6) Plan Execution
7) New Brand Marketing
8) Exit Strategies – The End

Reviews
Scott Allen, About.com Entrepreneurs Guide, Coauthor, "The Virtual Handshake: Opening Doors and Closing Deals Online"...
"Joint venturing is an essential part of successful entrepreneurship. Most people, though, do it by the seat of their pants and out of sheer necessity. Valerie's book provides an eight-part strategic framework for building a successful joint venture, from finding the right partner all the way through to exit strategies when the partnership has run its course. The section on integrating human resources is especially strong, and that is perhaps the most important, but least understood aspect of successful joint ventures. An essential guide for the entrepreneur who's realized they can't go it alone."
Mark Minevich, Co-Chair Nobel Fullbright BTM Institute, Chief Strategy Officer Enamics Inc, former Sr. Executive IBM Corporation - Albert Einstein Award Recipient - co-author "Six Billion Minds" and “...
"Reading 'Happy About Joint Venturing' is like having your own business coach sharing all her expertise on how to launch and grow a successful joint-venture. Valerie truly knows her subject. I found Valerie's analytical and easy to understand thought process to be the most creative and illustrative in the industry. If you are dedicated to change and want to be challenged by a very experienced coach, Valerie may be just what you are looking for." Two thumbs up!
Philippe Bouissou, Ph.D., Managing Director, Astra Venture Partners...
"As the business world becomes global, more complex, and as technology rapidly changes, being able to form successful joint ventures becomes a must. Valerie's book is a great concrete tool toward that goal and guides entrepreneurs, managers and business owners to get better armed to execute on the art of partnering."

"Three years ago, my income from joint venturing was zero. Last year, it was over 33% of my total revenues. Not knowing about joint venturing in the 21st Century is like not knowing about about computers in the 20th Century. After you read 'Happy About Joint Venturing' you will know what every successful business person must know."
