Know Who Your Peeps Are--In Love & Life

Well, hello, from Del Ray Beach, Florida! 
 So, this is me here at the iDate2019 Dating Industry Conference. I'm happy to be investing in my business and myself.
 
I must say: In addition to enjoying the educational piece of matchmaking and dating industry conferences, I really have fun re-connecting with colleagues that I've known for years, as well as meeting new people who work in the dating and relationship space.
These are my peeps! Well, a lot of these people are my people--but not all of them. That's not only okay; it is the way it should be. 
 
While I truly believe that every person I meet has value and is a new door to a different world--not all doors are meant to be opened by me.  Or you! 
 
It seems obvious, but.....
 
You don't go to the hardware store for milk. Tiffany's doesn't try to sell diamonds to teenage boys. And, as one of my matchmaking colleagues implied today, you don't match "toothless truckers" with attractive, educated, professional women in Manhattan! 
 
As another colleague said in her presentation on matchmaking hacks, people should look and feel like they match up with their partner. (Ever noticed how people start to look more and more like their significant others?) I, too, believe couples should look like they go together in some way. This doesn't mean they must physically resemble each other,  but that its best they have some kind of synergy. Like "two peas in a pod", if you will......
 
Knowing who is like you-who your tribe is- can not only help you achieve happiness in dating and relationships but promote success in business and life in general too.
 
As it turns out, recognizing who is not for you is just as important as knowing who is for you. 
 So draw your line in the sand and never be offended if someone decides you aren't for them in your personal or professional life. To quote my ex-boyfriend: "It is what it is".
 
When you let go of what isn't for you, what is for you will come front and center.
