LOVE the new title! (Could there be a t-shirt opportunity in that? And yes, we are unique. “Special” is another word that comes to mind

Cheers,

Good with small talk hey. Would you be a salesman by any chance?

I love a friendly chat, I’m just not into dissecting the lives of celebrities and in-depth conversations about the latest tv shows… but I’m also aware that currently I am a teeny bit obsessed with the topic of business! I think that will naturally settle a bit with time – and then I might be more normal again

On that subject, I’d love to chat about business – thanks for the offer.

I look forward to reading your article!

Regards,
Danielle

Yeah i realize that not everyone is going to get jazzed up about business. I prompted me to write an article about wealth and riches that i’ll be showcasing on my publication tomorrow (www.commercecubes.com/publication)

I am an excellent ‘small talker’ and i find it very easy to engage others but i miss that deep connection of talking to someone who truly is on the same plane as you. If you’d like to chat business i am always game (MSN:webguy_13[at]hotmail[dot]com).

I am getting out of my old cirlces as well and i am focused on attaining the life i want, the people i want around me, and i am defining things like success for myself. Talk soon Danielle,

Firstly, thanks for the compliment!

Yes, I do operate in the dating business, and your friend sounds like a very interesting prospect indeed …I shall be in touch!

Thank you kindly,
Danielle

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I know exactly what you mean and it’s nice to know there’s other people out there who feel the way you do! Sadly, the reality is that most people won’t ‘get’ your drive and enthusiasm, at least that’s what I’ve found. So now I just try to accept that and seek out the people who do relate. On the flip side of that are those who will resent you because a) they’re terrified you’re going to “out do” them, or b) you remind them that they haven’t had the guts to follow their own dream.

Sometimes when I’m with friends or people in general who don’t have my mindset, and they make endless small talk, I find it excruciating. I’ve never been much of a small talker, but now it’s like – can’t we talk business? Please… PRETTY PLEASE…

For me, part of this journey was realising that I need to move out of some of my old circles and meet more people with the same mindset. It’s all part of it, and for me there’s been a lot of emotion in that. Ultimately I know it’s a good thing because connecting with others on the same path will lead to richer, more meaningful relationships.

Best wishes,
Danielle

You operate in the dating business right? I have a friend in Brisbane who is involved in the scene and could help you out.

Great post by the way.

I was reading your posting and i related to a few points that you made in your article. Particularly…

“The aspect of it which has made it a particularly lonely journey for me is not having anyone in my inner circle who can relate to what I’m going through. My friends – who try to understand, but don’t really – are going about their lives as normal. Meanwhile, I feel like I’ve emigrated to another planet and don’t yet understand the customs.”

I have found that in certain ways it is harder for me to relate to other people from a living stand-point. Most people work a job, come home to family and relax. Myself, i work fulltime currently, i manage my time outside work to fit in running a business, getting things done for myself and trying to have a life. The problem that i find with my mindset is that most people don’t share it. They are off having kids, getting comfortable and not taking risks to succeed. I just get confused looks from them… kinda like “what the hell are you talking about” or “why are you so excited about this?”

Thanks for the insight Danielle,

Luc
