Today we’d like to introduce you to Amanda Rose.
Hi Amanda, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I started in the dating industry 14 years ago after going through a divorce. While married to my ex I had suspicions he was online dating. So, I went searching for his profile and as I was looking for it, I thought wow how are these men getting dates, there should be a business that helps them look dateable and date successfully. I ended up finding my ex’s online dating profile in that search. And needless to say, we got a divorce. I went from being a stay-at-home mom to a single mom overnight and knew I needed a way to provide for my children. So, I took that little idea and decided to turn it into a business that created online dating profile makeovers for singles. That little idea blossomed into a nationwide business. That first business also led to a regional coordinator position with an international matchmaking agency. However, I didn’t feel like their matchmaking process was personalized enough and decided to branch off on my own and created my current businesses the Dating Boutique – a dating consultancy, Prestige Connections – a luxury matchmaking agency and Swoon Me Events – a curated singles event company. My award winning companies are nationally recognized and have been featured in numerous media since that little idea in 2012.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Building a business is never a smooth road. There have been plenty of obstacles and learning experiences. The biggest struggle was learning how to build a business. When I started, I didn’t have any business experience or money. However, I was committed to making it work as a single mom. So, I self-taught myself how to create a website, start a business, market, network, and scale a business. I went back to college to study intimate and interpersonal communication to start the path to becoming an expert in my industry. It’s been a constant learning experience fueled with dedication and the drive to never give up. As a business moves up to the next level there’s always a new struggle to learn and overcome. However, that’s what makes the most successful businesses

Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
You won’t succeed at anything unless you take risks. There’s risks when starting a business or seeking the love of your life. I took a major risk when I quit my 9to5 as a single mom and chose to pursue my business full time. I didn’t know how I would succeed but I had determination to overcome every obstacle to make it work – and it did. We have to get out of our comfort zone and go after the wildest biggest dreams and goals. With that risk comes the reward of creating a life beyond your imagination.
