Career Habit #1 - Rejection is part of the game ❤️‍🩹

In your work life:

Rejection is simply part of the game. Whether it's an interview that didn't pan out or a deal that fell through at the last minute, you know that these setbacks don’t define your worth or your career potential.

In the dating world:

The same principle applies. Not every date you go on will be a home run, and not everyone you like will feel the same way. But remember, these moments do not define your worth or dating potential.

Rejection is part of the journey. Learn to expect it, even to appreciate it. After all, dating isn't about finding any match, but the right match, someone who wants to be with you as much as you want to be with them.

View each dating encounter as a learning opportunity, a chance to better understand what you want in a partner and what you can bring to the table.

The sooner you fall in love with the process, the sooner you'll fall in love - period.

Career Habit #2 - Simplify 🪜 

In your work life:

When you take on a large project, the first step is a no-brainer; you break it down into smaller and more manageable tasks that don’t feel so overwhelming.

In the dating world:

You can use the same strategy. The idea of finding ‘the one’ can feel like climbing Mount Everest 🏔️

Instead of over complicating things, break your dating goals down. For example: You want to be in a happy relationship, what are the first 3 steps?

Step 1: Spot a potential
Step 2: Make your move
Step 3: Go on a date ✅

This looks far more achievable.

Career Habit #3 - Networking 🤝

In your work life:

It's often said, "Your network is your net worth". Making new connections opens doors and increases your chances of landing a great job opportunity.

In the dating world:

It's no different. Putting yourself ‘out there’ is a must.

Instead of waiting for love to come a-knockin’, take the reins. Initiate plans and get involved in group activities. Start embracing a 'yes-person' mentality.

Be vocal about your availability — tell your friends, "Invite me out, I'll be there!". Attend singles events, even be open to being set up.

It's tempting to find excuses after a long day at work, but finding the right partner deserves your time and energy, just as much as your career does.

Career Habit #4 - Keeping your resume up to date 📝

In your work life:

Your resume is your golden ticket to getting noticed. It's the first impression employers get of you before inviting you in for an interview.

In the dating world:

Your online dating profile holds the same weight. It's what women assess first before deciding to initiate a conversation or go on a date.

You might think you have a decent profile, but here’s something most men get wrong…

Just like your resume reflects your most recent work experiences, your dating profile should reflect your most recent life experiences.

For example, talk about a country you visited, a book you just finished, or a new hobby you’ve picked up.

These small updates provide fresh and unique content that not only pique a woman’s interest but also sets you apart from other men.

Don't forget: This advice also applies to your photos. They should represent how you actually look today. Keep them up-to-date (and even seasonal for bonus points!).

Career Habit #5 - Knowing your strengths and weaknesses 💪

In your work life:

Self-awareness is key. Understanding your strengths and weaknesses is fundamental to your professional growth. It helps you make informed decisions like what projects to take on and which skills to develop.

In the dating world:

Self-awareness is equally important, and guess what, it's attractive and sexy as hell!

Getting clear on your strengths and weaknesses will significantly enhance your dating journey. It sheds light on what type of partner you'd mesh with and highlights the aspects that you need to work on or heal from.

Take a moment to reflect on the areas you feel confident about and those that could use some improving.

• What aspects of being in a relationship are you really good at?

• Where could you do better?

• How have these traits played out in your past relationships?

Getting real about this can be tough to face at first, but it's a necessary step in your dating journey — for yourself and your future partner.
