Taking your love life from in demand to on demand - Part 1

In both good and bad economies, leaders and executives want it all. They want to remain at the top of their professional game, gain the respect of their colleagues and peers, live a premium lifestyle that reflects their premium taste, and even though many won’t admit it, they want a successful love life.

Whether the end goal is marriage or a significant relationship partner, love and romance rank high on the executive’s list of must-haves – rivaled only by money and success. I know this firsthand. After 11 years of professional matchmaking and consulting for some of metro Atlanta’s top leaders, I’ve developed a firm grasp on how to achieve successful “work, life, love” balance. I often revisit the following keys with busy executives.

Looks do matter … and not just to you. For busy executives, the greatest fear is rejection and the greatest appeal is physical chemistry. Executives want to start with physical attraction and then progress to social and intellectual compatibility. And that’s not only limited to men. Women also care about physical chemistry. This is why I tell my One on One Matchmaking clients to not let their bank accounts do all of the heavy lifting. Our approach is very consultative; we serve as a personal advisor to our members on both the external and internal attributes that influence their love lives. Success is attractive, but it’s important that you also invest in your own physical appearance. A healthy lifestyle in general will allow you to enjoy your successful love life longer.
