G'day!

I joined EH yesterday and I'd welcome a review of my profile with your candid comments and feedback for improvement.

I'm not 100% sure if I am coming across as too serious, a workaholic, etc.

Many thanks!

Basic Information

Occupation: Certified Coach, Entrepreneur, Author Age: 39 Height: 5' 6" Wants Kids: Maybe Kids at Home: No
Ethnicity: White, non-Hispanic Religion: Spiritual, but not religious Drinks: About once a week Smokes: Never

Things passionate about:
I am passionate about business, marketing, network marketing, entrepreneurship, philanthropy, personal development, reading, poetry, photography, spirituality, wildlife/nature, animals and travel. I love to LIVE life, not exist, and get a great deal of pleasure at connecting with others and making a difference. Some of my important values are: growth, honesty/integrity, success/accomplishment, authenticity, self-expression, spirituality, simplicity, fun/joy, contribution, and empowerment. When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly live life.

The most important thing for in a person is:
I seek a partner who is intelligent, has soul, and leads a life in alignment with his values, appreciates life and all the world has to offer. Some values I would honour in my partner would be honesty, integrity, sense of play/fun, compassion, loving, confidence, respect for himself and others, down to earth.

The most influential person:

I couldn't pin it to just one person... when I delve deeper into that question I would have to say the great leaders and teachers in our world, as a whole. I am passionate about personal development; so when I read something that has a profound impact on my life, then that author (or speaker) has been influential in opening my awareness and growing as an individual.


The three things most thankful for:

  • Having a terrific family and friends.
  • Life's challenges; it allows me to learn and grow.
  • Nature and life itself; it provides me with inspiration and energy.

Best life-skills are:

  • Continuing to expand my knowledge and awareness
  • Sharing my beliefs through teaching, participation, and example
  • Finding pleasure and contentment in simple things

Wishes MORE people would notice about her is:

I really have no idea! Maybe I'm not as much of an introvert as they may initially think - although that depends on who I've just met and the environment I am in.


Can't live without are:

  • My dog - he means the world to me.
  • My family - they are the best!
  • My businesses - business is a thrilling ride
  • My sanity - see the positive and laugh!
  • Technology, Nature, simple things in life

The first thing people notice:

My genuine desire to listen, connect and empower others. Capability of expressing myself and creating pictures with words. My calm confidence. Folks have said that I immediately pique their interest without knowing why.


Leisure time:

I love exploring new places, being outside in nature - such as parks etc, photographing, reading, learning / personal development, watching a spellbinding movie, chatting to friends, meditating, dreaming.


The last book:

"Conspiracy of the Rich: the 8 new rules of money" by Robert Kiyosaki "Return of the Ragpicker" by Og Mandino "Goals" by Brian Tracy I like to read 1 personal development book a fortnight, and at the same have a combination of reading / watching various things as I absorb more when I can see, hear and read... so I also watch a heck of a lot of personal development videos, etc.


Friends describe her as:

  • Ambitious
  • Perceptive
  • Optimistic
  • Intelligent

Just my opinion but I liked it. It has some of the cliche answers (family, friends) but that's not uncommon. My only suggestion is that it comes off as maybe being TOO busy to really have time for a relationship as you mentioned. It's not just work though...it seems you have a lot of other passions that may take up your time from putting a serious effort into a relationship which may make *some* men feel you just want a "side" relationship that you will put the least "time value" into when push comes to shove and time becomes limited (on long work days etc.)...if that makes sense? Haha.

I noticed that you did not have a "Some other things XXX would like you to know" section. I think that may be a good way to wrap everything up and say something to the effect:

"I know this profile may sound like I am very busy, but I love life. I am definitely in a good place in my life and still have a lot of time to give someone in a relationship. I believe we always make time for those things that are important to us and I hope to find that special someone on eH."

Something to that effect. That way, you let people know that you aren't already "married" to all these other things you speak so passionately about including work. I think it's good that you're passionate, but others may see it as having no time for them.

Good luck!!!

Thank you very much for your thoughts and feedback thruthaboutcupid... I see value in what you have to say and see your point. Particularly love what you have written about the other section I have missed. I actually have a lot of time for a partner!! So yes, I need to make them aware of this. Thank you, muchly appreciated!!! It's great to get a third party perspective.

You're passionate about everything, which means by definition you aren't really passionate about anything. I'd close this profile instantly.

Advice: think about how other people would describe you if they were setting you up on a blind date. What would they lead with? What would they say you are really MOST passionate about? That's what the question is asking for.
