How do I deal with a partner who keeps changing his mind about previous decisions?

I work in a company (direct sales) with a partner. We split everything we do. He makes decisions about practices or people in the company--like team calls, wasting time with other people, etc. to not continue those practices. Then a month or two goes by and he changes his mind, and decides to go back to the calls that were time wasters before, or practices we had decided were a waste of time and money, such as buying leads from a particular company. I have a difficult time with this, as I believe it is also a waste of time to revisit a decision you have already made. We had a huge disagreement about this tonight, and it is affecting both our business and personal relationship. How do I deal with his decisions about changing his mind so often?

    You need to document EVERYTHING you do to have a paper trail to support your decision

    You both need to be on commission.

    If he wants to waste time going back on forth with his clients, great. Meanwhile, you go make your own sales and don't worry so much about his loss of the bread. Let him do his thing until he sees you raking in the $$$ and he will likely follow suit, increasing your business as well.
