If I'm going to be away from my family, I'd rather it be working with my friends.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's the job and then there's my family. There's very little time beyond that for friends.
I know some people say it's not the best to work with your family, but I have never understood that because it's always worked so well for me.
I have a tight family group that's really important to me. I don't want to work all the time.
One of the biggest things I used to struggle with was about things like going on holiday. Whereas all your friends can talk about something and plan something all year long, I know that I'm probably going to be away and I'm going to miss all of it. If a job comes up, you just can't be there.
If I want to work, I can. If I want to play golf, or ride my motorcycle, I can. But the rest of it is family. Sometimes you're not really needed by your family, but you're there. And my kids like to know I'm there.
I'm surrounded by great friends and family. I don't know what I would do without them.
Since I was a child, I have had this feeling that the most important work I'd do would be with my family.
I work to take care of my family, not the other way around.
I can't work without my family being with me.
I've made choices that work with my family. I want to work and I want to be with my family so I just walk the tight-rope of showing up for both those things.
