I split my commission and personal work about 50 per cent each. It is important to get that balance in life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think about how much I used to work and how much I used to make that the priority.
I could never have gotten back into my career without the undying support of my husband, who works full time at a stressful job! We decided that we were going to do this as total partners and it is a 50/50 deal with us.
I wanted to be a 150% entrepreneur and a 150% mom, and I found that I was having a very hard time doing both. I was about 75% and 75% - still better than 100%, but not what I was accustomed to at work.
I worked for half a cent a word. I'm not a fast writer to begin with, so for the first few years I had do other things.
My husband and I have kept a good balance between the work and the rest. I feel so lucky having a job, and I know so may people who focus too much on work, and their home lives suffer.
I'm not big on commissions.
My job is to give 100 per cent so that I can walk away completely satisfied with the race I put together irrespective of placings.
If I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it 110%, or there's no point in doing it at all, especially if the work takes me away from time with my husband and children.
I don't work to any commissions. I do what I want to do.
The greatest success is creating whatever you want without conditions. I don't do commissions unless I really want to, because it's like having a job.
