Looking at Relationships like running a Corporation

A Guide to Simplify Any Relationship Using Common A Common Business Mindset

This is just an outline of a way to look at relationships. Working on a universal version for ALL relationships including: friendships, polygamous relationships, monotonous relationships, business associates, etc. (And yes, this is my own original research after a bad breakup)

Chapter One: Business Model

• Who are you as a person? What are you looking for? Where are you willing to go? When are you ready to make your move? Why are you looking? How much are you willing to spend? These are some of the who, what, where, when, why and how questions you need to be asking yourself.
• Know what you want before getting into a relationship. The other person(s) cant guess right all the time. If you don’t know, how will anyone else?
• For those of you just out of relationships, DO NOT even consider jumping into another without taking time to yourself. This also includes random hookups!! (You risk being attached.) Review what went wrong in your last relationship and clear up any lingering issues. Bring NO BAGGAGE to the next person!!! They don’t care about your exes or want to hear any of it!! (The length of this process varies, but generally when you are over the ex, then you are ready to date.)
• Be comfortable with who you are. If something about you makes you self-conscious, FIX IT. Confidence is very attractive.

Chapter Two: Interviewing

• Set realistic expectations during your search for someone. This should be self-explanatory.
• Talk about what you want up front. This way they will know if they are willing to go any further and not waste your time.
• Ask about their past, present and future. The past is usually the truth. The present can be lied about. The future is something that should have been thought about BEFORE meeting you. This will tell you if they have goals of their own. If they have to think about this one, chances are they aren’t very ambitious.
• ASK QUESTIONS!! Nothing wrong with asking about someone you are interested in. If you don’t ask, they won’t tell you what you may need to know.
• Read body language and LISTEN with your ears, and not for what you WANT to hear. People will usually tell you what you want with their body movements and by what they actually say. Pay attention, because most of the time, they are saying what they THINK you want to hear.

Chapter Three: Probationary Period

• Only get to this point when you focused on ONE person and BEFORE having sex with anyone. If you want you want a serious relationship, that is.
• Remember the questions you asked them during the interview process. This is the time to ask them again and see what holds up. (Approximately 3 to 4 weeks after the time you first asked).

Chapter Four: Incentives

• Dates
• Buying tokens of affection.
• Remembering the little things about them
• Sex (yeah, its about time!!), but only if you are ready for it.
• Massages
• Anything you can think of to make them feel good being with you. I would not recommend blackmail; they have to feel GOOD to be around you.
• You are the product, keep them interested or they will eventually look for new merchandises.

Chapter Five: Discipline

• By this time, like any job, people start slacking off. If they are doing something you DON’T like, then tell them what happens. DO NOT hold it in until you explode.
• If they are doing things that you KNOW you mentioned when you started during the interview process, remind them. If they continue come up with a punishment or hold back an incentive or two.
• Should these habits continue, you should move on to Chapter Six.

Chapter Six: Deal Breaking

• Things may begin to get boring with the person you’re with so either go back to Chapter Four, or break off the relationship.
• Cheating ends your relationship. Terminate with EXTREME prejudice.
• If you have cheated, it’s your responsibility to TELL them. Otherwise you can’t blame their reaction if they found out on their own. Sucks to be you then.
• If the person has irked you and you warned them and punished them, then its time to kick them to the curb. There are other people willing to make you just as happy as you are willing to make them.
• In the end, its about YOUR happiness. So if you aren’t happy, why deal with it any longer than you have to? There are plenty of people out there for you.

Chapter Seven: Promotion/Expansion

• Considering a lifetime? Marry this person if you are TRULY happy. Make them permanent partners in your business called you. CONGRATS!!
