How Matchmaking Found me

Let me take you back to a moment in my life when the unexpected happened, and I found myself venturing into the world of matchmaking. Today, I want to take you on a little journey, the story of how I got into the world of matchmaking. My story begins in a somewhat different setting – one that may seem unrelated but ultimately led me to where I am today.

In my past life, I was deeply involved in organizing family offices and angel investor conferences. It was an exciting world, filled with high-profile individuals and intriguing conversations. The excitement of connecting brilliant minds was my calling.  Little did I know that this path would eventually lead me to the realm of matchmaking.

About six months into my journey, I found myself co-founding a vibrant female group. This group was a dynamic community of women, including angel investors and friends. We shared our dreams, supported one another, and built valuable connections. It was a wonderful experience, but life, as it often does, had a surprise in store for me.

One day, during one of our gatherings, a fellow member approached me with a question that would change my life's course. She looked me in the eye and asked, "What's your true calling? What is it that you really want to do in life?"She could see my passion for the group, but she wanted to know my deepest desires. It was one of those moments when you pause and really reflect. In that moment of vulnerability and honesty, I confessed something unexpected. "I want to be a matchmaker," I said. It was a declaration that came straight from the heart, inspired by the happiness my own relationship had brought me. He brought so much joy into my life that I wanted to share that happiness with others. To my astonishment, the woman who had asked the question responded with enthusiasm, "I want to be your first client!" She was an incredible individual, living a successful life in Newport Beach. Her belief in my matchmaking abilities was a turning point in my journey. I was over the moon with excitement!

With this newfound purpose, I began my adventure as a matchmaker. My goal was to connect her with compatible singles from various networks and social circles. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I was determined to make it work.

I developed a straightforward yet effective process. My approach was to do all the heavy lifting – from handpicking her potential matches to organizing the dates. I personally handpicked her matches based on what I knew about her, her goals, her dreams, and where she wanted her life to go. She only had to show up and be herself. The process quickly became an exciting adventure that she looked forward to.

As she began to meet her matches, she saw the value that matchmaking brought. She enjoyed the process so much that she began introducing her friends to me. Before I knew it, I had five clients, and I was navigating the uncharted waters of matchmaking. I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing, but one thing was certain: I was going to do everything in my power to introduce them to the best singles I could find.

And that's how I stumbled into the world of matchmaking – a journey filled with surprising twists and turns. It was a path I never expected to take, but one that has led me to a world of love, connection, and countless heartwarming stories waiting to be written.
