Okay, although logic never convinces anyone of anything, let’s counter some of these silly ideas.

Yes, many good ones are married, but half of them will be divorced sooner or later.

Some men are interested in women 20 years younger. It rarely works out and some men have to learn this hard way. You can catch one when he’s finally gotten a clue, if you’re patient. My friend Sheila did.

Is it impossible to meet men? Only if you’re determined it is.

He’s looking for you just as hard as you’re looking for him, but he’s not going to come knock at your door? I know men who’ve called long-lost loves, sometimes after 40 years. A telephone or email works fine and it can happen. If you heard stories I hear as a coach, you’d know that anything’s possible.

I was in marketing for many years, and it occurred to me that what you need is a marketing plan. If I were marketing an apartment complex, here’s what I’d do: Interview owner to find out what her goals were. Check out curb appeal. Find out what amenities were. Do a quick study of competition. Write up a marketing plan, applying fundamentals.

Now for fun part – let’s apply this to you and your search for Mr. Right.

WHAT YOU WANT?

What are you looking for in a man? Be specific. Make a list. Actually write it down. When you know what you want, you attract it. Write down traits, qualities, values, appearance and so forth.

CURB APPEAL

In apartment industry, “curb appeal” means what place looks like when you first drive up. So do an honest assessment of your curb appeal – what do they see when they look at you? Sometimes all you get is a first impression.

Do a makeover. If you need to, get a new hairstyle, get in top shape, get your nails done, and take a look at your wardrobe. Men fall in love with their eyes.

Work on your smile and your eye contact. A coach can give you tips on this. You want your inner light to shine. This means you must work on your attitude. Learn some optimism. It can be learned and you don’t need a reason. Not only will you feel better, but you’ll be more attractive to other people.

THE AMENITIES

At an apartment complex, that’s ceiling fans and hot tubs. For you, take a look at what you bring to a relationship. I’m not talking about material things, I’m talking about things that really matter. Make a list of all your good qualities. Zero in on two things that are unique to you and exceptional about you. Keep these in mind and project them.

THERE IS NO COMPETITION

You ask Yourself, “How will I ever cope with all of this? I don't know first thing about running a business.”

At this point, most aspiring entrepenuers throw in towel, or turn their attention to other things. It's a real shame that they didn't go one step further in their analysis of what's required to run a successful business, because only a few simple things required to get started. The rest can be learned along way.

Every successful business person has following traits in common; Desire, A Willingness to Learn, Tenacity and Boldness. Luck plays no part in process, and although a big bankroll can have a positive effect, it is no longer a requirement to succeed. In fact, without first three, a big bankroll could soon disappear in a frantic effort to get established.

The Internet has revolutionized business world, by making opportunity available to anyone with a home computer and an phone line. A poor person can even get by without these things by going to a public library or community center where computers are provided free of charge. Granted, your time might be limited with these resources, but they are available for your use. It just might take a bit longer to get established.

Let's look at other elements mentioned in introduction.

1.Desire

Why does anyone wish to enter business world in first place? There are many reasons. Maybe you hate your current job, or want extra money. Some folks enjoy a particular hobby and realize that there is a demand for skills they have developed. Or, you're like Me and suddenly found yourself unemployed and one paycheck away from living in your car.

Regardless of reasons, You have to want it bad enough that you are willing to take plunge. Put your fears aside, and let your desire to better yourself take over.

2.A Willingness to Learn
