Tips on balancing scaling a business & dating?
Looking for advice from the more grown fellas on here.
Does anybody have any advice on how to properly balance scaling a business vs dating? Used to spend a lot of time messing with women in my early/mid 20s, but about a year ago, things in life changed and I completely switched my focus to entrepreneurship. Things have been fantastic in that sense. Making more money than I ever have, love what I do everyday, and love the control I have over my life. That said, I haven't been putting that much time into women. Have had a couple around that I put 0 effort into (they really choose me), but I obviously am not in it with them, nor look at them as somebody I'd like to be publicly associated with. Not in a they're ugly sense, but just I know how my history and know I can/should do better. I'm confident that if I put effort into that side of my life, I'll succeed, but with the success of my business and the nonstop nature of being my own boss/scaling, I obviously prioritize that, which leads to me not fulfilling the side of life with women. For example, though rusty, I'm definitely not scared/intimidated by women, but I'm never at bars/rarely at social events to even be in a position to make moves because I'm typically at home/out of town working. I'm not even worried about the spending part. To me, I see it as me spending time with somebody who can't provide real benefits to my business/my life financially. On a deeper level, at this point, I've kind of lost respect for a lot of women as so many get by on little qualities other than sexuality, and don't know what it's like to really work/earn something completely independently (i.e. run a business). That thought is in my head whenever I meet a pretty girl, and it just turns me off.
I'm conscious enough to know that there's something I could be doing wrong, so would appreciate any constructive criticism w/ respect to my POV and how I could be at fault w/ how I view things.
Overall, I'm not anxious about the priorities I've chosen per say, but just wanting to get back in the game without losing any momentum in business.
Thoughts?
Consider investing into a reliable ready reference you can pick up and study to better prepare yourself for engaging the opposite sex. I'd suggest that you get yourself a copy of Doc Love's "The System: The Dating Dictionary". Doc Love, who until his passing was also known as Tom Hodges, wrote a weekly advice column that's archive is mirrored on several mens focused sites and a podcast. His media is a bit pricey, but it's a solid foundation a guy can branch out from in RP aware circles. I'd suggest you review his advice column to decide if his view on dating and relationships is aligned with what you aspire for yourself. To save yourself a search, give this scribed link a gander to find out if his #book is something you'd like to add to your library. It should also be available on libgen.
