The Three Essential Characteristics of an Intimate Partner for a Woman Entrepreneur

In the dynamic world of entrepreneurship, finding an intimate partner who complements your journey as a female entrepreneur is paramount. As a shamanic self-mastery sage, I’m always teaching about the significance of surrounding yourself with individuals who resonate with your vision and support your aspirations.

These are foundational ingredients for a healthy, happy, and functional relationship, of any kind. When it comes to choosing the right intimate partner, it is imperative that you do not compromise regarding the support you deserve. Have the expectation that both your personal fulfillment and professional success can be supported.

I’d like to share with you what I believe are three essential characteristics of an intimate partner with whom you can experience “right” relationship:

Respect for Independence and Ambition:
A fundamental trait in a partner for a female entrepreneur is respect for her independence and ambition. As a woman who has been self-employed since 1994, and deeply invested in spiritual entrepreneurship, I embody a spirit of determination and drive. I am very clear that my partner must recognize and appreciate my autonomy, understanding that my entrepreneurial pursuits are an integral part of my higher purpose. Mutual respect lays the foundation for a partnership built on equality, where both individuals support each other’s aspirations without feeling threatened by the other’s success.

It is necessary for a successful woman entrepreneur to be with a partner who joyously celebrates your achievements, and loving encourages you to reach for new heights. It is necessary for your partner to be someone who views your entrepreneurial journey as an inspiration, rather than a competition. A person who respects your independence will be able to acknowledge your ability to make your own decisions and pursue your own goals. And they will be thrilled to offer unwavering support and everlasting encouragement along the way.

​Emotional Intelligence and Empathy:
In the realm of entrepreneurship, emotional intelligence is invaluable. Also called “EQ”, it is the human ability to understand, use, and manage emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges, as well as defuse conflict. A partner who possesses emotional intelligence and empathy can provide invaluable support during the highs and lows of your journey. Who wouldn’t want a partner who has the ability to empathize with your experiences, offer a compassionate ear and a strong shoulder to rely upon during moments of triumph and adversity.

Make a commitment to only be with a partner who can navigate complex emotions and communicate openly and honestly. Be with someone who can offer constructive feedback without diminishing your confidence, and who understands the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Emotional intelligence fosters deep connection and mutual understanding, while strengthening the bond between you and your partner as you navigate the unpredictable terrain of entrepreneurship together.

Alignment of Values and Vision:
One of the cornerstones of a successful partnership is alignment of values and vision. As a spiritual “entrepreneuse” (the feminine version of entrepreneur), dedicated to making significant contributions to shifting human consciousness to a higher level, my right partner must share a similar sense of purpose and direction. A partner whose values do not resonate with my own, someone who is not passionate about personal growth, community empowerment, and making a positive impact in the world, is not a good fit. There can be no “happy ending” if the values and vision are misunderstood, or not shared.

Look for alignment not only in your professional endeavors, but also in your personal beliefs and principles. A partner who shares your vision for the future can provide unwavering support and encouragement, serving as a trusted ally and confidant on your entrepreneurial journey. Together, you can co-create a life filled with purpose, meaning, and fulfillment, where your collective efforts contribute to a greater good beyond yourselves.

In conclusion, let me share some ancient wisdom regarding how to have a relationship as a woman entrepreneur so you can receive the high level of respect, understanding, and support that is crucial for your success and wellness. It is important to know and understand that unless you yourself are willing and able to embrace and demonstrate these same essential characteristics, you cannot attract the right partner. We can only manifest what is right for us by doing and being the way in which we want to be treated. These essential characteristics of respect for independence and ambition, emotional intelligence and empathy, and alignment of values and vision must become what you also bring to a relationship. You can have the right partner by your side, staying on the path of entrepreneurship with confidence, and knowing that you are supported, understood, and cherished every step of the way.
