Megan Weks, 42, from New York, US, is a certified dating and relationship coach who helps successful and high-achieving women find lasting love.She has even managed to marry her soulmate, Josh, within a year.“If you want to meet your husband this year you need to be visible, out there, and honest with the universe about wanting to find love,” she told Daily Star.“I was very clear that I wanted to find someone one year and made sure those around me knew it.”One way she boosted her connections was by signing up to a matchmaker as an affiliate member.This means she wasn’t paying for the matchmaker but was willing to be introduced to their paying clients and go out on dates, essentially serving as an asset for the matchmaking company.“Josh was the first person they introduced me to!
