Great article Crissy. I like the correlation between dating and business although sometimes with dating I believe you need to stop the search and trrust that the dude will enter your life no matter what.
Easier said than done, but it could be the guy who walks past your letter box at the same time as you’re collecting the post, so if the dating gets too tiresome that’s something you could think about.
After having said that, keep dating so you get more content for your great posts. lol
Good luck

Well, even if the dude at the post office catches my eye, I still gotta date him to find out if there is anything there. So there really is no end to dating…
As someone who dates and has debated bringing my business back (it closed when I started grad school), I enjoy this article-thanks!
I like this particularly:
“If your business is really important to you, you’ll go out there and do whatever it takes to be sucessful. You’ll hit a lot of roadblocks along the way and there will be days where you feel totally discouraged and want to cry. But if you really give a damn about what you’re doing, you’ll pick yourself up and do it all again the next day.”
Everyone I know who has ever started a business (and I know many) has felt this way… and I have felt this way about dating. The road will be difficult, but if you have it in you to go the whole distance it’s totally worth it.

I love this post! It’s excellent!
A note on dating: I met the love of my life when I was going through a bunch of really horrible stuff and NOT wanting anything to do with relationships. When we met, he was pretty much in the same boat. It’s been almost three years now, and I love him more every day.
This strategy, of course, does not work when applied to business; however, I have found that if you TRY TOO HARD, people will notice, and that can turn away potential clients.
Love the blog!
