I had a pretty good career at home. What keeps you going is not having a plan B. It's a very good thing. I think if I had a viable plan B, I might not have kept going.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love my work, but my home life is so fulfilling that I don't tend to be driven by work ambitions.
When I started the business, I hardly went home. I became very driven about work and about my career.
My plan growing up was to leave home and try not to panic. I always knew that to strive to be self-sufficient was an important ambition.
Thinking of Plan B muddies up your chances of succeeding at Plan A.
It helps to have a happy home life to keep up alongside your career.
I've never really had much of a career plan, and interesting opportunities kept cropping up.
For the majority of my career, I've been surprised that I've been able to sustain any kind of a plan. I was always happy to have the job, and I was having a good time. I was growing. But I don't feel all that strongly about my work.
There have been a lot of moments in my career when things haven't gone to plan.
My professional life shouldn't be an influence on whether I spend time at home. My career is my whole life's blood. It's my calling.
My career always took me away from home, I was always away from home and I just wanted to be at home.
