Business people are often known for having challenging relationships and yet they stay in them because they are afraid of destroying their business. Often family and friends will tell you that their are no perfect relationships and that you need to stick with it. I will disagree with those people that don't believe that it is possible.
I know what it is like to have challenging and bad relationships. I spent most of my life having them, that is until I met my wife. I even went through two divorces, being married to the wrong person does not help. Add a business start-up and you have fireworks as the spouse fights for attention.
That's why, if you take the time to locate the right person, you will be able to have someone that helps you and supports you to achieve your goals. You need someone that pitches in and will do whatever it takes.
You also need to be the right person for your partner. There will be times when they need you to be there for them as well. In order for you to be that person, you have to know what you want in your relationship. It took me a long time to figure that out, but after a second failed divorce, I took the time to think about what a relationship could not have and what it had to have for me to even consider moving past anything other than a friendly date.
I spent time discovering if the person I was dating had the qualities necessary for me to see just them. If I found a deal-breaker i would move on and discontinue with the relationship. I did not want to be with anyone out of convenience, as a bad relationship is anything but convenient.
When you think of it, I actually wrote a relationship plan much in the way a business owner writes a business plan, to ensure that I would have the best success at developing the right relationship. I thought out everything that I would expect a person to have, do and not do.
Issues were:
- Children (Could not have, optional to have them in the future)
- Religion (would have to be of similar or same faith)
- Smoking (No Smoking period)
- Social drinking (not necessary, but preferred)
- Self supporting (no living off mom/dad or someone else)
- Have a professional career
- Like to have nice things, but could live in a trailer and still be happy
- Family/friends would have to like as well (did not want to lose lifetime friendships and have problems with family)
- Willing to tolerate my entrepreneurial activities
- Enjoys travel
- Dining out
- and many others
If you notice, I did not include like the same things I do and having fun together. You always have fun together at first, but you have to have fun together after you get married as well. If you understand each others needs you will have a much greater chance for success.
I can tell you that if I can find the perfect person so can you. Mine came when I met her after she contacted me through Match.com. I was able to get a head start on finding that right person because Match.com allowed me to sort out the people that did not fit the type of person that I needed in my life.
No matter what happens, I found the person that stands beside me and is committed to helping me be the best person I can be and I am committed to helping her be the best she can be. That makes for a perfect relationship. I would not hesitate to recommend that any of my single friends do what I did and find that perfect person.
