Ellen Smoak discusses how she turned the pain of a broken engagement into power. She details how she ignored red flags with her fiance… and it ended in the worst pain of her life.
In meeting her new Love, she notes that she was more prepared. Now, she had a checklist.
In our lives, it’s easy to “settle” for employees who aren’t the best fit for our companies because we’re in a rush to fill a position. (Guilty.)
It’s easy to settle for partners who aren’t the best lovers for us because we’re lonely (Guilty as charged.)
Often we remain friends with people long after our spidey sense tells us to GTFO because we’re desperate to make mom friends. (And then they become the very person who stabs us in the back! Guilty, too 🙁
For today’s exercise, think of three to five relationships you want to create and cultivate in the next year.
This could be:
- A new mom friend
- A lover
- An employee
- A mentor or business coach
- A therapist or life coach
- A marriage counselor
- A church
- A pastor
- A babysitter
- A business partner
- A handy(wo)man or cleaning lady
- A networking group
- A coworking space
- An officemate
- A roommate
- An elder or wise friend
Write down your intentions and desires for this person or organization.
Create a comprehensive checklist of everything you want in this person.
As you state your intentions clearly in this checklist, you will become committed to this person or organization.
You will have greater ease heeding red flags and you’ll find that you’re more attuned when you find a good match for you.
