Now you might wonder how a woman who has been married all her life could so quickly become an expert on this topic. Well, those who know me will tell you that I’m the type that dives head first into a new project. I believe that I’m the architect of my own destiny and I want to create a life of happiness, love and laughter with a life partner. And frankly, the methods I’m using are working, girlfriends.

As a sales and marketing consultant for over 20 years, I am professionally trained both through education and practical experience to spot trends, identify niches in the marketplace and grab ideas for new products for clients on a daily basis. I bring demographic numbers to life through extensive research, but research that means something. I make phone calls and find out who is in charge, then I survey them and find out what makes them tick. I use 10 magic questions that shows me when (very critical to know when) to ask the right questions and discover the information that I need to make better decisions. When I applied these same techniques to dating, I discovered very quickly that it works, just like magic.

I tell clients that sales really is dependent on the law of averages, and I have found that dating is too my friend. The men are where you find them for a reason, and you’ve heard the old saying, “you have to kiss a lot of frogs, before you find a handsome prince.” I decided to apply my “attracting ideal clients” philosophy to dating. As in business, by carefully identifying the ideal client, customers can then more easily identify and attract them by advertising and networking where those prospects hang out. When I very carefully identified the qualities I’m looking for in my soul mate, I now know where to “hang out”, advertise, and network to find potential soul mates and ultimately find true love.

My dear friend, Amy Stevens, calls me a futurist. She has claimed more than once that I have the ability to forecast trends, fads and economic opportunities way ahead of their time, but I think it is merely listening to my intuition and years of training in real time. As you read my story, you’ll see how I quickly decided NOT to become a victim of circumstance, but to take control and put on my marketing hat to take a comprehensive look at the 21st century woman and research my way through becoming a single sophisticate at 46. I decided to handle it just as I would a marketing strategy for a most important client…me. I’ve learned so much about myself and discovered who I was truly meant to be, not someone else’s unrealistic idea of perfection. I love being single and I love meeting men, many of whom have become very special friends to me.

My goal is to help you by sharing my Marketing Strategy so that you can use the resources, answers, questions, that I’ve found to get me through this most difficult time. But more importantly, I want to share with you the process for discovering the essence of who you were really meant to be, obtain more joy than you ever thought possible and make the type of connections with others that will last a lifetime. As you journey on the path, I wish you hope, joy, inner peace, confidence and know that eternal love will find you when you are ready to receive it.
