Why Typical Dating Advice Doesn’t Work for Entrepreneurs

To be entrepreneurial is to create something from nothing, to innovate, to expand, to lead with a relentless hunger for more.

Entrepreneurs share certain undeniable traits:

  • The ability to persist despite resistance.

  • Addictive tendencies (work, drugs, sex, etc.)

  • A deep desire to be known as the best in their field.

  • The ability to inspire, lead, and, let’s face it, sometimes manipulate to achieve their vision.

And here’s the catch: most dating advice simply doesn’t work for people like you.

The Misalignment of Mainstream Advice

Typical dating advice is aimed towards the masses; people who, whether they like to admit it or not, conform to society’s expectations, work jobs they clock in and out of, and desire a relationship with someone who lives a similar lifestyle.

But you? You’ve never fit into that mold.

You’ve always wanted more. More freedom. More impact. More autonomy.

And if you’re brutally honest, you’ve always felt a little… better than everyone else.

As Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic aptly put it:

“To some degree, all successful entrepreneurs have problems with authority, which is why they are so eager to demolish the status quo and replace it with something else.” — Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic

This same rebellious streak runs through your love life.

You don’t want generic advice because it doesn’t resonate.

And yet, the advice that is tailored for entrepreneurial men?

That’s often written by men just like you: hyper-focused on achievement, subconsciously resistant to intimacy, and grappling with a streak of narcissism (whether or not they’re aware of it).

What’s Missing in the Conversation

I’m not saying the advice out there is bad — it’s not. A lot of it is useful. But the truth is, there’s a massive gap when it comes to relationship advice for entrepreneurial men.

That’s where I come in.

As an entrepreneurial woman who is in a relationship with an entrepreneurial man, I have the unique perspective to address what’s often overlooked.

I’ve coached over 100 women who are dating — or have dated — entrepreneurs.

I’ve seen firsthand the patterns, the miscommunications, and the ways ambitious men unintentionally sabotage their relationships.

And most importantly, I know what women actually want — not just what other men think women want.

Who I Work With

I work with two types of entrepreneurial men:

  1. Those in relationships who want to thrive both personally and as a couple.

  2. Those who are single and ready to attract the kind of woman who complements their life and vision.

Here’s how:

If You’re in a Relationship…

I become your secret weapon — a relationship coach for both you and your partner.

For your girlfriend or wife, I help her:

  • Understand your drive and why work means so much to you.

  • Relax into her feminine energy without feeling like she’s being ignored or undervalued.

  • Communicate effectively so you feel supported rather than stifled.

For you, I help you:

  • Acknowledge her need to feel seen, heard, and cherished without sacrificing your ambitions.

  • Numb the urge to run away or lash out during conflict.

  • Build boundaries between work and your personal life so you can show up as the incredible partner you’re capable of being.

Because here’s the truth: without intentionality, your work will always bleed into other areas of your life. And when that happens, it’s easy to self-sabotage relationships that could have been incredible.

If You’re Single…

I help you bridge the gap between the ambitious, driven man you are and the partner you want to be.

Women want to feel safe, understood, and magnetized to your energy. But here’s the thing — a woman who truly values herself (the kind of woman you want) won’t stick around for long if they sense emotional unavailability or feel like a distant second to your goals.

I help you:

  • Shift your energy to attract women who are aligned with your vision.

  • Balance your masculine drive with the emotional intelligence that makes women feel deeply connected to you.

  • Build the foundation for a partnership where your goals and hers don’t compete — they complement.

Why This Matters

Entrepreneurship demands a level of grit, resilience, and focus that most people can’t relate to. But in relationships, those same qualities can become barriers if left unchecked.

Healthy relationships don’t mean sacrificing ambition. They mean growing alongside someone who inspires and challenges you to be your best self — in business, love, and life.

That’s what I help you create.

If you’re ready to transform your relationships — whether you’re single and searching for your perfect match or in a partnership that needs alignment — let’s talk.

This is the intersection of what you love, what the world needs, what you can be paid for, and what you are good at. This is what gives life meaning,

Studies show feeling underappreciated or a lack of purpose at work has massive effects on your health and happiness (shocker, I know).

Implementing Ikagi in your work is the most sustainable way of creating work-life harmony as you will feel excited, comfortable, satisfied, and happy — arguably the 4 pillars of success.

The Pomodoro Technique

This is a tried and true technique that’s wildly popular; so much so that there’s a limitless supply of Pomodor Timers to choose from.

The Pomodoro Technique: Set aside all distractions and interruptions and focus on one specific task or project.

Work on the chosen task for the entire 25 minutes set by the timer.

After the timer goes off, take a short break of 5 minutes to rest and recharge.

To accomplish four “pomodoros” (a term used to refer to each 25-minute work session), repeat the process of working for 25 minutes and taking a 5-minute break.

After completing four pomodoros, take a 20–30 minute break to rest and recharge.

I’ve begun using this technique, and as someone who’s severely prone to getting distracted, I’ve found it helpful to stick with a task at hand so I feel refreshed at the end of the day rather than burnt out.

Shoshin

Approach tasks with a beginner’s mindset.

“It refers to having an attitude of openness, eagerness, and lack of preconceptions when studying, even at an advanced level, just as a beginner would.”

Utilizing a beginner’s mind allows me to approach meetings objectively rather than feeling tense, stressed, or nervous. I’m able to approach tasks so that they seem like fun games to figure out, rather than harrowing responsibilities.

Kanban

This is an excellent method of tracking the progress of multiple tasks.

The Kanban method visualizes work as cards that go through various stages in the process. The progress of each task is tracked by moving the card through the different stages of the process, which represents a specific task or piece of work.

Similarly to the Pomodoro Technique, there are numerous softwares that you can use to implement Kanban. Just google “Kanban Board” and you’ll find a plethora of choices.
