Dreamer by itself is not a bad thing but I presume you mean someone who is JUST a dreamer but doesn't seem like someone who would actually do the work to achieve those dreams ? The best indication is their past actions. What have they done so far that gives you any indication they are worth partnering with. If nothing, I would definitely think twice. Business is extremely hard. You need to partner with people who ideally have all of the below: 1. Perseverance. They understand that good things take time and need to constantly fight against odds to achieve success. 2. Dedication and focus. They are not all over the place. They only want to do this. 3. Relevant Skills/experience. You could be a first time business founder/partner BUT what skills do you bring to the table that are relevant in some ways to this partnership ?
