The Sound of Music: One of the greatest love stories ever told. It’s a true story of how two people met and unexpectedly fell in love. Each had to resolve his/her own dilemmas, and neither expected to find love. Together they had to overcome huge hurdles. But once they opened themselves up and allowed love to come into their lives, there was no stopping their union.

Do you remember the movie, “Groundhog Day,” with Bill Murray?

Of course you do! He kept waking up and living the same day over and over again until he got it right. Of note: That whole day included getting his relationship with Andie MacDowell’s character right too.

Do you keep feeling like you keep living the same relationship mistakes over and over again?

Well, this year, it’s time to do something different…and let us help you.

Oftentimes, similar to Bill Murray’s character, you may experience the same situations time and time again with your romantic relationships and your business relationships. Like him, you may keep doing something different and finding lots of options that don’t work.

It’s time to get out of your relationship rut and discover what does work. It’s time to get the tools you need so you can stop spinning your wheels and finally have it all.

This week, take the following 3 steps to begin your Boys Before Business journey to having it all:

1) Join our newsletter (it’s free!)

2) Schedule 60 minutes in your calendar to listen to our free teleworkshop about The First Steps to Having It All

3) Follow us on Twitter @BoysB4Business and get daily tips for your relationships with both boys and business

You have a choice: you can keep waking up to the same relationship struggles and heartache or you can choose to start having it all.

Really…

Isn’t it your time to have it all?!

This is your year for happily ever after. You have decided. The question is, are you committed? To have it all you are going to have to be committed to taking action. Finding Mr. Right is possible but you must be willing to put in the time and effort. As we have said before, go find Prince Charming instead of waiting for him at the door.

Before we help you get ready for the love of your life, we want you first to get rid of your excuses.

Top Excuses For Not Finding Mr. Right

1) I don’t have any time.
2) All the good men are taken
3) I don’t want to have to give up my career
4) I don’t know where to meet him
5) I need to lose weight first

Girls, don’t let these excuses sidetrack you from having the life you want. You may be satisfied right now with life and maybe you were like us and thinking this is as good as it gets. No more status quo in 2011! It’s time. So what can you do?

Here’s how to start:

• Determine what you want. Know what you are looking for so when you find him, you keep him. Write your Dear God letter today.
• Decide what you will give up in order to get what you want. You might have to forego watching your favorite show to go out on a blind date or skip spending time on Facebook to go on Match.com. You might have to leave work on time to go to an event.
• Associate with people who will help you get what you want. Surround yourself with people who support you and tell them what type of person you are looking for.
• Have a plan and work your plan. Join a dating service, start taking a class, schedule time to put yourself in a position to meet the right person.

Next, believe it is possible. You need to be excited about your life in love! Tom Barret says, “It is time to dust off your hope. Dust off your belief. Dust off your confidence. Dust off your determination. And it’s time to Dust off your dreams.”

Why?

Because you are either going to dust them off or cast them off. That choice will impact the direction and quality of your life for years to come.

It’s your time to have it all!

This is a time of year that can be filled with joy and happiness or filled with stress. Holidays can mean so many different things for different people. For many, this is a cherished time spent with family and friends and a time to give thanks for all the blessings in our lives. For others, the pressures of the holiday season make our stress levels rise and it is sometimes difficult to find the joy and happiness when what is foremost on our thoughts is: Why am I still alone?

The best solution for holiday blues or stress is to come from a place of gratitude. Start by making a list of all the people you are grateful for in your life. Then add to the list the things you are grateful for in your life. Share with the people on your list your thoughts and feelings and let them know how much they are appreciated.

When you come from a place of gratitude and are able to fully appreciate what you DO have in your life, you will find it’s a powerful way to let go of what could have, or should have been. Being in a state of appreciation is the same as being in abundance. Your focus is on what you do have and you always get more of what you focus on.

Having awareness of everything you do have in your life and by showing appreciation, you can start to attract the right people into your life. Relationships can actually be energized simply by showing appreciation.

During this time of year, keep your focus and gratitude on what you do have instead of thinking about what you don’t have. Fill your calendar with fun events with people you care about and keep your mindset on what you do want.

It’s Your Time to Have It All, San Francisco!

Ali Fedotowsky did it! She put Boys Before Business in front of a national television audience and it paid off. Big Time!

She focused on finding her true love – and find him she did.

Now we can’t wait to watch Ali’s career soar as a result of her rockin’ romance with Roberto.

Meanwhile, on Sunday, Patti Stanger stood strong with her Must Have Traits and called off her engagement with long time boyfriend, Andy Friedman. She wants to have children, she said in People.com’s Sunday article, that’s a dealbreaker for her.

We applaud Patti’s decision to stick to the traits that are most important to her in her relationship.

We wish her much happiness as she seeks her real Mr. Right.

Reminder: now is a great time for Patti to review and revise her Dear God Letter. Is it time to revise yours?

It’s Your Time to Have It All!

Much has happened with “The Bachelorette,” Ali Fedotowsky, since our last article about her and her quest to find the man of her dreams.

In episodes 5 and 6, Ali continued to talk about her fear of not being loved back.

Isn’t this truly every woman’s fear? That she’ll put her whole heart into a relationship, allow herself to be vulnerable (maybe for the first time ever) and then boom! She won’t feel loved or supported in the relationship she invests in.

During episode 6, Justin fulfilled Ali’s greatest fear when it was revealed to her that not only did he already have a girlfriend – and a second one on the side – but he was using Ali and the show to raise his own visibility to further his own career and interest in getting into acting. Funny enough, his own girlfriend was the one that outted him.

Any woman would be devastated by this situation – and many women have been. Like Ali, they have lost their faith in men and have doubts that Mr. Right could really exist.

For Ali, the way Justin handled the news of her discovery when she confronted him with this made the situation even worse.

We give Ali a lot of credit as she winds her way through the variety of experiences women face when they truly want to find the dream man that they can really build an amazing life with.

To her credit, Ali opened her heart back up during this same episode during her date with Ty and made it possible for her to fall in love again instead of just rejecting the other guys because of her experience with Justin.

At the end of episode 6, Ali talked again about her fears with Frank and about not being able to control who falls in love with her and who she falls in love with. Frank even talked about being cautious himself and why he’s still single at 30. He said that he himself hasn’t settled and that he only wants to get married once.

That’s all rather odd coming from Frank who did receive a rose and went on to welcome Ali to his hometown in episode 8 where she met his family along with meetings Roberto’s, Kirk’s and Chris’s families too. The reason it’s all odd about Frank is because in the coming attractions for episode 9, it is revealed that Frank is actually still in love with his ex-girlfriend who wants him back and says she wants him to “come home.”

Instead of jumping eagerly on a plane promptly to go to Tahiti to meet Ali for the next round of “The Bachelorette” with her, Frank heads off to his ex-girlfriend’s apartment in his hometown of Chicago to figure out his own feelings before he takes the next steps with Ali.

As women, we have to give Ali credit. She’s living through many of the fears we go through when seeking the man of our dreams. Some women give up after a while, throw in the towel and turn to their computers and careers instead and figure if love really does exist for them, it will find them while they are living their lives and fulfilling their other dreams.

Not Ali. Even in the face of men continuing to profess their interest in being the man of her dreams while having girlfriends on the side and her taking the steps to travel to meet each man left standing in their own hometowns along with their families, Ali is still standing strong and remains committed to taking the steps needed to find the real man of
her dreams.

We want to know what’s holding you back from finding yours. Answer our poll this month and tell us what scares you most about finding your own Mr. Right. Click here to
answer the poll: http://bit.ly/aoTUIo.

We’ll keep watching Ali as she heads off to Tahiti with her big heart and possibly for a big heartbreak from Frank.

As she continues on her journey to meet her man and make her dreams come true, we know that she’ll reap the rewards she deserves of getting the boy and building the business she’s dreamed of.
