For all businessmen who have told me “My love life is not what I want it to be and I don’t understand why”.
Below, I compare running a (potential) successful relationship with a successful business. They are identical.
Business venture
Current situation: The (logistic) department isn’t working. (Tangible)
Ideal situation: The (logistic) department runs like clockwork. (Tangible)
To do’s:
Identify the cause why the (logistic) department isn’t working. (Tangible)
Offer strategies how it could work better. (Tangible)
Results:
Primary benefits – Clock working (logistics) department. (Tangible)
Side benefits – Energised employees and satisfied stakeholders
(intangible/Tangible)
Romantic venture
Current situation: Your attract women who want you for what you have and/or your status instead of for who you really are. (Intangible)
Ideal situation: Attracting your Mrs Right. (Intangible)
To do’s:
Identify the cause why you are attracting that type of women. (Intangible)
Offer strategies how you can positively reverse that. (Intangible)
Results:
Primary benefits – You attract your Mrs Right. (Tangible)
Side benefits– Increased energy and creativity, fulfilment and experiencing more love and lust. (Intangible)
Last but not least, if you can’t identify why you attract that type of women, hire someone who can.
Your time is precious. Your (love) life is precious.
