Your mindset matters. It affects everything - from the business and investment decisions you make, to the way you raise your children, to your stress levels and overall well-being.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I make decisions, I'm not thinking about my parents. I'm thinking about my children.
Before you have children, you mostly think about the world in terms of yourself. And when you become a parent, the focus shifts to somebody else.
Having children really changes your priorities.
If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do matters very much.
For me as an individual, it's important that I have a career as a role model for my children, that I earn my own money, and I spend it prudently and imprudently.
If you're financially responsible, your children have a much better chance to grow up financially responsible.
Before having children, I think I probably approached work very differently, and you become much more economical and pragmatic about your relationship to it.
You make a choice in your life, and it affects your life in all the ways, good and bad.
My ambitions are less important than my well-being. My children come first.
Every single decision I make about what material I do, what I'm putting out in the world, is because of my children.
