CHAPTER ONE BUSINESS MEETS ROMANCE NOT JUST ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP BOOK The Right Man Business Plan is not just another relationship book telling you how to find a mate, but rather one that is based on business principles, relationship economics, and entrepreneurial skills. The combination of business knowledge and relationship strategies makes strange bedfellows; but the truth is that they have much in common. The pages of this book will share the similarities and parallels of business and romance. You not only will learn what it takes to start a business, but also you will learn ways to think differently about relationships and what is required to make them lasting and loving. You will also learn ways to inspect what you expect when it comes to choosing a quality partner. I assure you, if you take the time to honestly answer the assessment questions, follow the processes, and adhere to the principles in this book, you will be amazed and excited by what you learn about yourself and relationships. You will find yourself systematically reviewing aspects of your past partners and relationships, while learning new ways of finding, attracting, and retaining the right life partner. Many businesses, and the entrepreneurs who start them, are unsuccessful because they are in either the wrong industry or doing the wrong work. Many relationships, and the people who start them, fail because they are with the wrong partner. The true start-up of a business or a relationship is what happens before you start up. An essential component to business or relationship success is the planning and preparation to lay the proper foundation. Without a solid foundation, no business or relationship is built to last. The four cornerstones for building a solid foundation in business or relationships are: •   Vision. There are two important days in your life—the day you were born and the day you knew why you were born. What do you want your life to be about? What’s the big picture? If you don’t know where you’re going, how will you get there? A vision is having a mental picture of the business or relationship you intend on having. •   Strategy. You have to establish what it is you have that would make your customer want to buy from you. What are the things you need to concentrate on for your vision to become a reality? Setting specific goals helps in creating a strategy. •   Plan. What steps will you take to achieve your goals? The plan helps to know you have covered all the bases. It is your blueprint for success. Planning allows you to think through the why, what, when, where, and how aspects of business or relationships. •   Accountability. When you typically initiate an action plan or goal, what keeps you motivated, challenged, and engaged? Establishing metrics will assist in determining if you are achieving your goals. ARE YOU SUCCESSFUL AND SASSY? What makes a modern-day woman successful? This is a woman whose power comes from maintaining control of herself, not relinquishing that control to anyone else. She has overcome adversity and difficult times to consistently provide the needed resources for herself and her family. Her pursuit of professional and personal growth and development has inspired her to accept different challenges, acquire new skills, and expand her networks. While achieving her own goals, she feels the need and urgency to support and help other women achieve their goals. Successful does not mean she has to work in a corporate environment or hold a title. Successful does mean enterprising and striving to better herself in all facets of life. This woman can pass the mirror test, which means she can look at herself and feel good about what she sees. She is someone who knows what she wants out of life, knows what is important in life, and is willing to pay the price to get out of life what she desires and deserves. What makes a contemporary woman sassy? This self-confident, opinionated, and witty woman walks to the beat of her own drum and refuses to let someone else accelerate her pace and rhythm. Her power comes from her strong sense of self. She is both fun and funny and recognizes the strength in her femininity. She lives in the moment; this ambitious assured woman works hard and plays hard. It is not that she is fearless, but she does not let fear stop her from moving forward. She is not afraid of failure, but she is afraid of not living life to its fullest. She wakes up in the morning feeling victorious rather than defeated. Challenges get her competitive juices flowing, and her philosophy is “you don’t win the silver, you lose the gold.” NEW APPROACH TO AN AGE-OLD PROBLEM Observing, hearing about, and knowing many women who were doing well professionally, but not doing as well romantically (including my two beautiful daughters), I came to the conclusion that this was a problem and a solution was required. I realized that if these women continued to do what they have always done concerning dating and relationships, then they would always get what they always have–and that would be insanity. If you want something you have never had, then you have to do things you have never done. Most women have never looked at dating and relationships like a business. In the pages of this book, you will find similarities between business and romance and learn how to utilize business principles to initiate and maintain a healthy, harmonious relationship. The success rate for both small businesses and romantic relationships is not very favorable. Statistics show that 95 percent of small businesses fail within the first 5 years of operation and more than half of marriages end in divorce. What these numbers reflect is having a successful business or a successful relationship is not easy. Nobody wants his or her business or relationship to fail. That is why it is essential that you have a clear understanding of what it is you are trying to achieve and be able to identify challenges and barriers that stand in the way. Does this mean I am taking the wanderlust and the serendipitous possibilities out of dating and relationships and turning them into a corporate, cold, and calculating formula-based process? Absolutely not; this is a new approach to an age-old problem. By applying business principles and entrepreneurial skills to romance, you will: •   Enhance your knowledge, which is the what to do. •   Learn new skills, which is the how to do. •   Increase your motivation, which is the want to do. By positively influencing you in the way you perceive, understand, and interpret relationships, this book will help you make better decisions and choices when it comes to love and romance. I wrote this book for single women, not for married women; so my advice is geared to someone who is not legally or morally bound to a partner. However, if a married woman reads the book and adopts some of the principles, I hope it improves the quality of the marriage. Similarly, I believe if men choose to read the book, they, too, could learn some things that would help them become better partners. SELF-LOVE, SELF-ESTEEM, SELF-KNOWLEDGE Wisdom is best manifested in its simplicity; if things are too complicated, they get lost in translation. This book will be very easy to follow and understand, because the emphasis is on three key things: 1.   First key thing is you. Chances are if you are reading this book, you have experienced a bad relationship. Are you ready for a serious relationship; have you healed and recovered from these experiences, or are you still haunted by the terrible twins (trauma and drama)? Some women have decided that they are not emotionally healthy enough or believe they are undeserving of having a healthy relationship. This book encourages thinking about the prospects of a future positive relationship rather than basing decisions on failed past relationships. Time alone will not get you ready for your next relationship. The things that will help include working on being emotionally available, allocating time to date, and having the determination to create a lasting, loving relationship. This book assists you in knowing your values, priorities, boundaries, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, nonnegotiable standards, and what you want and need from a partner and a relationship. Self-love, self-esteem, and self-knowledge are necessities for a successful relationship. 2.   Second is finding the right partner. The right partner is someone whom you like, trust, respect, and who is a great friend. The right partner will enjoy spending time with you and is compatible. This book helps you know what to look for in a partner; know what to avoid in a partner; understand the male ego; learn what men want; as well as how to find men, attract them, and keep them. 3.   Third is developing a healthy relationship. In order to move forward in establishing healthy relationships, you must figure out your relationship patterns and what exactly went wrong in your past relationships. This book helps you to 1) understand what a healthy relationship is and how to develop one, 2) understand how to avoid dating pitfalls, 3) establish relationship strategies, 4) learn the four stages of relationships, and 5) develop structure profiles. A healthy, mutually rewarding relationship is so much about knowing who you are and staying on that path. A strong sense of self makes your actions, reactions, and interactions...
