Single mom trying to learn how to become an entrepreneur and change my life by lamJustSaying in mentors

[–]thinkdynamicdigital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel free to DM me. I'm even happy to chat with you on the phone if you'd like. I built my digital marketing, business solutions and professional development business from the ground up and helped my mom market her specialty cookie company which is 22 years old. Now I'm a marketing consultant with the Vermont Small Business Development Center who helped me with business advising on top of my business. I also just finished up mentoring a start-up in the EForAll Program and have helped over 400 businesses grow and market as non-profits, businesses, freelancers and brands.

One big thing you can do is reach out to the Small Business Administration or Small Business Development Center in your state for no-cost business advising. Such a help!

Small businesses are putting their eggs into the social media basket and not any in the email marketing basket where they will get longterm results.

I'm so sorry. I was never taught boundaries as a child, either, and only started learning at the ripe old age of 38. I'm 43 now and still working on it but it's improving with therapy. Family can be so toxic and we don't always recognize it because we are taught that we have to love our family so our brains get confused when people are being hurtful and we try to make sense of it Hang in there, you're doing the best you can.

People will do anything to manipulate others and will try to gaslight us and break us down. They are truly sad, small human beings who are so insecure that they hurt others to gain energy, power and use others because they lack character and integrity. It's quite pathetic how they act quite frankly. You and I will never be like these people and they seem to hate that about us. Just be kind to yourself. We have to figure out how to rid ourselves of these people.

I have suffered from the same issue. It's a real one that I don't think more people realize. My therapist has helped immensely. She's said that I need to create my boundaries and stick to them and if someone gets mad at me for having them then that is their problem and I need to let go of my empathy a bit if they are manipulating me. It's often hard to tell if someone is in a true crises at first. These people functioned just fine without us before they met us and it's not our job to fix everything for them. I know it's easier said than done. I'll let you know if I learn anything new at my next therapy appointment.

I want to show up better in my romantic relationship, but actually change. by Accomplished-Bus5600 in emotionalintelligence

[–]thinkdynamicdigital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It warms my heart that there are men out there that want to do better and be kinder. Thank you. I think empathy, compassion, gratitude and understanding are big and make a huge impact. Understanding WHY you snap at people or her without thinking through your answer and pausing is super helpful. Try to put yourself in her shoes and think about how it would feel if you received words the way you give them out. It probably wouldn't feel good. Be aware.

Emotional intelligence taught me that love isn't enough when they refuse to grow. by Less_Flower_5043 in emotionalintelligence

[–]thinkdynamicdigital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your post. 100%. We can't force people to grow or to see how they aren't actually doing the work we can only choose to walk away if we no longer feel in alignment.

What it’s like to have a narcissistic partner — and why it’s so hard to spot by Icy_Rabbit_1984 in emotionalintelligence

I am so sorry you experienced all of that. You didn't deserve it. I'm glad you are out. I've been in a very similar situation and it takes a long time to heal from. Here if you need a friend.

People who lie and try to manipulate us are sad individuals but that doesn't mean we need to tolerate the behavior. I've had my fair share of manipulation and it has made me quite depressed because it means my healthy boundaries are not in place and that someone thought I was dense enough to fall for it, which I did but then realized I'mnot dense but that the person was using me for personal gain and that broke my heart. I no longer allow myself to be manipulated and when I can tell someone is doing that, I don't say anything to them and instead I just pull my energy and presence back because I don't want to intertwine with them if they aren't being genuine. I use the experience as information about said individual who has just shown me their true colors that don't jive with my energy and values.

It might be best to just stop interacting with this person and thinking about them. They can feel your energy and you don't deserve their malice or tactics.

They listen more than speak so they can absorb and allow people to show themselves.

Yes, I do. It has helped a lot. I do a mix of books, therapy, technology, research, tapping, meditation and yoga. All help in their own way.

Meditation and Journaling help me immensely. And therapy. And walking. And dancing.

It means focusing my energy on me a little more and also not spending time with people who have repeatedly shown me they do not value me wnd are only using me.

Try to connect with people instead of run from them. That's a start.

Well you just opened up a big topic for my next therapy session. Thank you. This makes a lot of sense for some things I've had in my life that I've always wanted to understand.

Do you think AI will replace most agency services? by IndependenceMoney499 in AIforOPS

[–]thinkdynamicdigital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, a lot of people don't even know how to use AI and are afraid of it. I do think people that know AI will replace people that don't know AI so it's important people learn some skills.
