The parallels between business and dating.
LFG
👇
It’s taken me over 3 years.
But I’ve started dating again.
The reason I waited so long is because I wasn’t ready.
I was in a 7+ year relationship that didn’t end well.
It left me jaded about dating again.
Another relationship felt like a distraction.
That it would slow me down in the pursuit of my goals.
Until I learned the concept of 1+1=4.
The concept is exactly that.
That the right person can be a catalyst for growth.
Not a hindrance.
If you haven’t found that person yet.
I hope that you do.
It’s a game changer for your personal and professional life.
The biggest mistake people make on a date?
They don’t pay attention.
- Did their pupils dilate?
- Did they touch your arm?
- Did their tone rise a little?
- Did they laugh at your dumb joke?
Words are a fraction of the message.
The message is always in the medium.
The actions.
But did you notice them?
Paying attention is the prerequisite for connection.
In dating and business.
I’ve never used a dating app.
Here’s why.
I’m a glutton for punishment.
Just kidding… or am I?
On an app, you become a commodity.
Easily replaced (or swiped) by the next person.
I never want to be easily replaceable.
And neither should you.
Being willing to approach someone is a differentiator.
It helps me stand apart.
I have found this to be true in my personal and professional life.
I will shoot my shot all day long.
I believe it’s what has given me the edge.
In every area of my life.
That I’m willing to be rejected.
What’s your differentiator?
Take home point…
- The right relationship is 1+1=4.
- The message is in the medium.
- Shoot your shot… it will help you stand apart.
