As a woman entrepreneur, it can be challenging to balance your professional aspirations with your personal life. Unfortunately, many women entrepreneurs may inadvertently self-sabotage their dating lives without even realizing it. When I took a good look at my dating habits, I realized there were 4 things I needed to address and maybe you can relate! Here are four common ways women entrepreneurs (like me) self-sabotage in dating:
1.Overworking: Many women entrepreneurs are passionate about their work, and as a result, they may spend long hours working and neglect their personal lives. While it's important to be dedicated to your career, it's equally important to make time for building relationships, self-care, and rest.
2. Being too independent: As a woman entrepreneur, you're probably used to doing everything on your own. We just happen to be the marketing team, the accountants, the HR department, the service providers, the product models and more! However, in a relationship, it's important to be open to receiving help and support from your partner. No one wants to feel unnecessary. So don't forget to need him/her a little. Girl, let them do it!
3. Having unrealistic expectations: Women entrepreneurs are often driven and ambitious, and they may have high expectations for themselves and their partners. While it's important to have standards, boundaries, and expectations it's also important to be realistic and flexible in your expectations. No one is perfect. The chances of your partner crossing off every item on your list are slim. And that's okay. Prioritize the thing that matter most and make room for human.
4. Putting career first: It's easy for women entrepreneurs to become so focused on their careers that they neglect their personal lives entirely. While it's important to be dedicated to your work, it's equally important to prioritize your health and personal relationships. It's true, paying the bills takes precedence over everything else. So, t's easy to get caught up in the cycle where making money and increasing the amount of money you're making is all that matters. If you desire a relationship, you have to make room for it. Having a two-income household could be just as productive as working harder and earning more.
