ronnie-cropped_faceRonnie Ann Ryan is The Dating Coach and author of 5 Big Turnoffs that Drive Men Away, 7 Surefire Ways to Make Men Want You and her new book, MANifesting Mr. Right.

Ronnie’s company, Never Too Late for Love,helps women 35+ understand how dating works today to have greater success and find the love they want. She teaches workshops, coach one on one and in groups and has created audio programs such as I Believe in Love and I’m So Alluring. Ronnie has worked with over 1,500 people to successfully help them jumpstart or accelerate their search for love. She is a regular co-host of WNRI’s radio show, Networking Singles, and has been featured on FOX 61, Sally Jesse Raphael Radio, MSN.com, MORE.com as well as a variety of other print, broadcast and web articles in the US and the UK.

Ronnie began her business when she woke up on my 40th birthday – still single. “This made me depressed,” Ronnie says, “but I thought the best thing to do was to get used to the idea since I had no evidence to the contrary that I would find a mate. After a few months, I decided that there must be something I could do to change my status.”

Ronnie created a program to open her heart and to get on the path to meeting men – and she did – dating 30 men in 15 months. Her husband was lucky number 30. “We’ve been happily married for nine years,” Ronnie says. “No one ever thought I’d get married. Even two astrologers said it wasn’t in the stars. So I figured, if I could figure out the dating scene and find love, anyone can do it! I had many single girlfriends and thought I could really help other single women like myself to find the love they want and deserve.”

Ronnie’s biggest rewards are her clients who have found love and those who have even gotten married. She has learned that not everyone wants to marry, but getting a thank you note from them or a wedding invitation is “the biggest thrill” for her.

After taking the Which Jane Are You? Assessment, Ronnie has discovered she is a Go Jane Go. She says it fits her as, “Like my title, I go go go. I never stop having new ideas of where to promote myself and what to talk about. I love coming up with new programs, audio’s workshops, book ideas, blogging etc. This is a highly creative endeavor which gives me a wonderful opportunity for self-expression and to have a voice. I have opened for a theatre company, been on radio and TV, have been interviewed by magazines – even one in England. I want to reach as many women as possible who want to find love to help make their dream come true.”

For all Go Jane Gos, Ronnie advises to, ”Take time for you. I’m very good with setting boundaries, which helps me a lot. I take time off just to relax and think or not think. Also – plan, plan, plan. Know what you need to do to market yourself – write it down and follow through. I set monthly goals – it helps me keep going. And I’m in a couple of mastermind groups which is great for additional ideas and support. I was once an Accidental Jane. My other business, marketing consulting and writing, was started after a lay off when my colleagues who had taken other positions in consulting groups would call me in to help get their work done.”

This was the start of my long-term freelance business – I’ve been on my own since 1990.
