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

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.

It’s Your Time to Have It All!

Boys Before Business has gone on a single celebrity girl watch to determine which famous gal will breakthrough and finally have it all this summer.

Co-authors Jennifer S. Wilkov and Kimberly Mylls will be keeping an eye out for who’s practicing their Boys Before Business philosophy, “You can have a great life and you can have a great love, when you decide what you want and put your relationship first.”

From Jessica Simpson to Jennifer Aniston and Drew Barrymore to Reese Witherspoon, the co-authors say they’ll be watching and cheering them on.

“We want them to be happy and finally have it all. We’re excited to have other women see celebs practicing what we teach. It’s really rewarding,” say Wilkov and Mylls.

Boys Before Business will acknowledge celebs who follow the philosophy with the Have It All Award.

In their #1 spot right now is “Bachelorette” Ali Fedotowsky. On the first episode of this season’s show on ABC Television, Ali says love not work is number one on her agenda. “I definitely have a lot of regret,” she says of her decision to leave Jake Pavelka (last year on “The Bachelor”) to return to her job — one she’s now quit! “I’m ready to move forward,” she swears. “Bring on those boys. I’m excited. “She’s hoping her journey will end “with tears in my eyes and I’m looking at a man down on one knee, asking me to be his wife.”

In the third episode last week while on her date with Hunter, Ali admits that she has been so career-driven in the past, perhaps because of watching her Dad give up a lot to support her Mom’s nursing career when she was younger and not focusing on his own career. She then saw their relationship end in a divorce. She says she has had a hard time giving her career up for love. She agrees when Hunter suggests that she has her own plans for life and that she doesn’t want to mess that up.

The co-authors say that they know it’s scary for every woman to open their hearts to the love they’ve only dreamed of. Loving your career and being able to share your success with your Mr. Right is a dream come true, whether you’re a celebrity girl or not. They say they are certain that it’s possible for every woman that truly wants to succeed with both boys and business to finally have it all.

Stay tuned to the Boys Before Business blog at www.boysbeforebusiness.com/blog to find out who will win the first award.

Last year on ABC’s hit show The Bachelor, audiences were disappointed when one of their favorite women, Ali Fedotowsky, left the show because her job was calling.

At the time, Ali told Jake that although she was falling in love with him, she couldn’t stay.  She picked her career over the possibility of love.

Fast forward to this season’s The Bachelorette and we find a wiser Ali who is back.

According to ABC online they say, “This time, love not work, is number one on her agenda.

“I definitely have a lot of regret,” she says of her decision to leave Jake Pavelka to return to her job — one she’s now quit! “I’m ready to move forward,” she swears. “Bring on those boys. I’m excited.”

She’s hoping her journey will end “with tears in my eyes and I’m looking at a man down on one knee, asking me to be his wife.”

During the first episode, Ali talks about her decision and admits she made the wrong choice. She says she won’t make that mistake again and that she is making finding true love her priority.

She now realizes the importance of putting relationships first. Those 25 men who are vying for her love can rest assured that her priorities are in order and that she will be making them number one.

Our guess is once she decides on her dream man, she will soar even higher in her career.

See for yourself.
