The untapped love potential of the successful businessman or woman.
What stands out while coaching business owners (and big-shot leaders) in finding and keeping their dream partner is the following:
The stronger the entrepreneur, the more fragile ‘the person’ behind the entrepreneur is.
How quickly the entrepreneur leaps into action at the slightest problem their business, how striking their answers are when it comes to detecting the possible hick-ups in their love life:
They shouldn’t think I'm weak.
What if I don’t find the answers.
What if I do this and it still doesn’t work out.
The fact that the entrepreneur manages to build a successful business is precisely because they are short on time and look for the problem.
That’s why, because the entrepreneur goes to the heart of the business, their business gets better and better:
Where does the issue lie?
What can be done better?
The same principle is also true for long-term and loving relationships. To achieve this (this already starts with attracting the right partner, so the statement “I don’t meet potential partners” doesn't hold true) the heart of the entrepreneur must be looked at.
Many entrepreneurs experience looking at their heart as if there is ‘something wrong with them’. You can look at it this way (quite striking how positive you look at your business when something is ‘wrong’ and how negative you look at yourself when something is ‘wrong’).
Or
You can recognise that you have a lot of untapped potential. Namely by becoming more of who you already are. After all, you are love.
So, the more love you become, the more quality love you will attract and retain in your life.
