'3 KEYS TO SUCCESS IN ALL RELATIONSHIPS'

As entrepreneurs(사업가), we’re focused on our success, growth and evolution. But can we be truly successful if our relationships are suffering? Success is holistic(전체론의), and if one area of our life is a weak link(약한 연계) – be it health, wealth or relationships – all areas suffer. The steps below give you a game plan for all types of relationships. Remember that how we are in one relationship is how we are in all relationships.

1. Know your patterns

Whether we’re speaking to a potential client, reaching out to an old friend or getting to know a new love, it’s crucial we understand our own relationship patterns. These are our factory sections which, if left unchecked, create chaos in our connection with others. Are you prone to(~을 잘하는, ~의 경향이 있는) overgiving? Are you someone who struggles to ask for support? Do you lone-wolf it and go it alone without asking for help? Or do you overwork, ignore your relationships, and then find yourself alone during birthdays and milestones? By having deeper self-awareness around our relationship patterns, we arm ourselves with the information on what unhealthy behavior is our default. Once we know this, we can change it. We can also become aware of which patterns cause a strong emotional response within us.

2. Know your triggers

While we have patterns, we also have emotional sore points in our interpersonal dynamics. For example, if we have a pattern of not asking for help, it’s likely we will then have an emotional trigger (계기) with a friend, brand sponsor, or fellow entrepreneur when we feel we have been giving to the relationship and not receiving in return.

When we know our triggers, we can critically and logically look at an upsetting situation and decide which part is our “stuff” and which part actually needs to be addressed with the other person. It also helps us to explain who we are and what we need. How we communicate this need will differ from relationship to relationship.

3. Do the relationship-specific healing Find someone who will help you to dive deeper into where you’re currently at, what you need in relationships, and how to get you there. Consider seeing a coach or therapist one-to-one to work through any challenges you are experiencing in your personal or professional interactions(상호작용)
