I can see the correlation, but on the other side, what about the "work is going so well, I don't want to be distracted" mentality? As my life can attest to, sometimes I get so engrossed in something going well that I forget about her....needs completely.

Holly, this post cracks me up if only because I recognize myself so much. When Hercules and I go out, it's like an unwritten rule that we won't talk about negative things. Challenges, maybe, but mostly we just tell each other how great things are going. Yeah, definitely an aphrodisiac... is that too much information? ;)

Holly,

Great blog post.

It's very simple and I've realized it myself in the past few years.

Making your own money and being successful (whatever your definition of success is) is by far the ultimate aphrodisiac.

Enjoy it.

P.S. People wonder why politicians do what they do? Imagine how they must feel...

Holly, this post is really funny and cute. You're obviously right, but I really just wanted to comment because I thought it was a cute post.

Nice post! I'm surprised what you said about just making the connection though because usually that confidence naturally exudes when trying and landing new business. I guess maybe it's how much you decide to release.

@ norcross: I've always wondered if this was a guy mentality. I've dated guys who are worried about getting distracted, yet who manage to find time for a run. Hey, they're both good workouts.

@ rebecca: I like that rule! Maybe I should institute that one...

@ adam: Right on! Just look at JFK.

@ monica: Thanks, girl!

@ christien: I probably have just never gone after the kind of goals that I am now, hence I never made the connection.

@ Holly: Haha, that's great! I'll tell all the man folk to be on the lookout, since you're on the prowl! Have fun.
