While I know there are more pressing items to be sharing (Gen Y Capital Partners and the White House Student Relief headlines, our online meeting information, etc.), I had to do a quick writeup on this article, published today on ForbesWoman by Meg Casserly (fantastic writer),titled “Why I Won’t Date An Entrepreneur: A New Series.”
In the article Meg reviews her experience in dating men who have startups, which I’m not sure to laugh about or be concerned by, but at a certain level I can definitely relate to it. While I’m not dating, I do have a baby, my darling husband, and a business that I am personally juggling. I know that many of you have mentioned in the past that you have dismissed dating to focus on growing your companies (see “Calling on My Single Ladies”, “Single Lady Laura”, and “Who are You”). So what is Casserly going to do about our juggling act?
Rather than complain, or simply swear off, the Chris, Dave and Bryans that New York is crawling with, I’d like to make a difference. From my perch as an observer (and a more-than-curious reporter with experts on speed-dial), and with a few guest-posts, I’ll tackle the reality of the struggle to reconcile a personal life–whether it’s dating, relationships, family or babies—with the staggering commitment of building a business [...]
I don’t think juggling is exclusive to those who are starting and growing companies, but as a community of YFEs, it is something we have in common. Will anyone else be reading the Forbes Woman series?
