Mark Rosenfeld – Make Him Yours – Helping women find and keep healthy, modern relationships

2021 and 2022 has been a tough year for business around the globe. In your experience can you share how businesses prosper in 2023?

I think it was easy for all of us who are more ‘introvert’ leaning to get a little too into our comfort zone – especially in 2021! It’s time to get back out there, get uncomfortable, network, and share our message(s). Relationships need attention and focus, and too many people are suffering from or living with unsatisfying ones. We mustn’t rest on our laurels, the hustle will always be required to be successful in business. If you’re not hungry, another competitor will be – so we mustn’t shy away from our messages. Let’s put them out there unapologetically!

The economy has been turned on it’s head in the wake of the pandemic. What should businesses focus on in 2023?

Giving value. That’s it. In the end innovating to find whatever way you can do that is always going to be king. If you have a great offer and a great customer/client experience, you can figure out everything else around that.

What are the pro’s & con’s of working from home and have you any first hand experience?

Oh, very much so! My business has always been work-from-home, but now so many others are seeing the benefits too. The biggest being the extra time we can work on our businesses because we’re not driving around. Starting at 7am and finishing at 7pm when working from home still gives an hour or two at night to relax! That said, you still need to have good boundaries with yourself, as it’s oh-so easy to spend time with the partner/cat/Netflix instead of working – all of which are always within arms reach. All I can say is – thank god I don’t have a home gym! My 2 hours at the health club daily is my physical AND mental health time.

How can business owners combat the rise of inflation and what have you done that you can share?

Further innovation to figure out how we can add more value, and have better sales and prospecting systems. Fulfillment hasn’t changed, but if we don’t have paying customers there won’t be any fulfillment (or any business!) For me, inflation, has forced me to continue to learn the reasons people might be scared/hesitant to purchase because they may have tried something before and not gotten results, and wisely want to be more careful this time around. We must truly listen to our prospect’s concerns and address them so they can feel safe purchasing and ensure they have a great experience and ultimately have their problem solved.

In the last 5 years we have seen the rise to Cryptocurrency, Blockchain, NFT’s, Digital Marketing and many more! What do you think will impact the world most in regards to online selling?

I think the recent SBF scare has set digital currencies and user trust back a decade, if not several, so my answer is more conservative than it has ever been in the past. I think digital currencies will play an ongoing part in the financial system, however, I think the dreams of replacing traditional currency in any way will take half a century, if not more, to eventuate. They’ll continue to be useful, but now in a more pragmatic, sensible, optional way.

On a more subtle note. If you could have dinner with three people, dead or alive who would it be and why?

Ester Perel – She’s such an amazing voice in the couple’s space, I love her teachings and would love to absorb knowledge from her.
Victor Frankl – I think it goes without saying that the stories of someone who turned their mindset around having been stuck in a Nazi concentration camp would be life-changing.
My Grandma and Grandpa. – I never got to meet my grandmother or grandfather on my Dad’s side. I would love to know more about Dad and Dad’s history… and it would be so meaningful to spend a night with them and learn about my father’s family, and hear some funny and interesting stories from all of them growing up.

Reading is still one of the most popular ways to learn anything. What is your most recommended book(s) by who and what did you learn from them?

Stan Tatkin – Your Brain On Love – It’s the #1 book on the marketplace to really ‘get’ attachment styles, how and why we love, and the effect our nervous system programming has on our relationships.
Atomic Habits – 1% movements make all the difference! We think that change is a BIG piece of inspiration… no. Real change is compounding. It’s tiny movements, consistently.
Ester Perel – Mating in Captivity. Fundamentally understanding that desire is created in SPACE is not something that is taught in our traditional relationship culture.

What is your purpose for getting out of bed each day and what do you aim to achieve in the future?

In the end, the only reason we care about our money and our health is to enjoy our relationships. That’s the end game is life and what makes our time on this planet worth it. So what gets me up is that I truly love seeing women and men overcome their fears/blocks and end up in amazing relationships as a result.
