You're right, a lot of business start with the right partnership and a lot of business requires us to partner with other people as well.
If you're friends are not willing to work on your business idea then it's better to find others who can be passionate as you. This is because you can never build with people who are not interested in what you're trying to establish. If you go ahead you'll have e disagreements, quarrels and the business will eventually suffer.
