Who should I be in a relationship with? - 80/101 Entrepreneur Questions and Answers
This is an except from my book: 101 Entrepreneur Questions and Answers.This is a very interesting topic, because I have been in a relationship with someone that was rather negative and someone that was rather positive. You can be a relationship with whomever you want, so long as they'll help you and be on your side. Nothing is worse than having a partner that is not supportive.You and I need to be in a relationship with someone that supports our ideas, qualities, goals and preferably if someone is an entrepreneurial already. Be in a relationship with someone that shares your attitudes and beliefs towards money, success and business. Someone that you can discuss big ideas with and someone that will work alongside you.Seek to be in a relationship with someone that sympathise with you and will support you. Seek to avoid someone that will bring you down, whether mentally, emotionally, spiritually or in business.I was in a relationship with a woman in 2015 and she was rather negative towards business and said that one of her male friends got a virus from my website, which was later proved to be false because there was evidence for it. She was very much wanted to work 9-5 for the rest of her life, and there is nothing inherently wrong with this, but was unwilling to learn the things I was learning. I encouraged her to read a book, Rich Dad Poor Dad, which she never did and near the end of our relationship said the I tried to "dupe" her into reading books. How you can dupe someone into improving themselves, opening their minds or learning new things?There was also another time where we were at a book store and I showed her a book How to Speak the Language of Money- she flicked through it and said "I know all of this already", yet she was doing nothing with that knowledge. I did not question her, but back then I was thinking "well, what does arbitrage mean?" and wanted to test her.She also once complained that companies were cheating people by overpricing their cheap products, as she had a can opener that was made from a cheap plastic. I wanted to challenge her and say that it was due to a thing in economics called 'shrinkflation', but I never challenged her.She saw herself very much as a victim as everything was someone else's fault, this is why she never passed her driving test.She was rather negative and not a person you want to be in a relationship with, because as you grow, develop and succeed, you'll leave her behind. She is the kind of woman that would have dragged me down and wasting my time.There was another woman that I knew, but she was totally committed to her work- again nothing inherently wrong with this, but it was a major distraction from their real life goals. Remember: you cannot get rich by having a job, you cannot earn you want to riches. We never met in person, but we did connect over Facebook- I may never truly know how well we get along because she was too committed to her work- which I suggested once that maybe they are taking advantage of her working 7 days a week.Avoid toxic relationships, because these are people that are not willing or interesting in being an entrepreneur or people that are negative, whining or are beyond help.Another woman is much more agreeable with business and after seeing some of my success and seeing evidence of it: will want to join me as an entrepreneur and do her own thing.The only caveat to being in a relationship with someone that is business orientated as well, is that it can be a little overbearing, this was a contributing factor to why Donald Trump was unhappy with his first wife, Ivana Trump. In the late 1980s she was overseeing his Atlanta businesses and she was doing a good job at it, but when she and Donald were at home, she would only talk about the business. They were not a very normal family, as Donald described it, because she would only talk about business and money, as opposed to family things- it seems that she was unable to wind down.Question of the day: Is there anyone you regret being with?
