Starting a business is a risky venture, but there are ways to minimize risks and increase potential for success. To convince your partner to go along with your plans, you should thoroughly research the market and competitors in order to make an informed business plan. You could also consult expert advisors or successful entrepreneurs who can offer support and guidance. Furthermore, outline clear roles for both of you in the business, as well as concrete strategies for mitigating risks and accessing resources that can assist in managing any challenges that come up. With these preparations and plans in place, discuss with your partner how each of you will fare financially if things do not go according to plan -- having honest conversations about worst-case scenarios often helps alleviate fears around risk-taking opportunities. Lastly yet importantly, give ample time working on the idea before committing completely; testing the feasibility of an idea through small-scale pilots projects or focus groups allows realistic insight on its potential rather than rushing into it blinded by enthusiasm. Doing all this ahead of time allows realistic planning while minimising surprises once your venture has launched.

You can try to convince your partner to take the risks associated with starting a business by emphasizing the potential rewards that could come with it. Explain to them how their fears of failure and uncertain outcomes can be mitigated through sound planning, hard work and proper execution. Furthermore, you could also suggest reducing risk by working as a team and providing emotional support during any eventual challenging times.
