-: When I look at success, I think it's important
to define, for somebody to define success
before they get into an endeavor
and then also being willing to adapt
to what success looks like when they're in an endeavor.
My goal initially was to be a
sales executive in a large pharmaceutical company.
But as I matured in my career,
my goalpost kind of moved a little bit.
I was more focused on some things
that I wanted to do personally with my children
and that altered my career course
where, as opposed to aspiring to be a sales executive
and run a company, it was more I want to be
the best at job in sales, become a sales expert,
because what that allowed me to do
was to make a, you know, a solid living
but then also spend time with my children
and actually one of them already has happened,
where my oldest son has gotten a scholarship
to play sports at Division I level
and my second one is well on his way to doing that,
but I was able to spend some more time with them,
training them and showing them the things that I knew.
So my measurement of success has changed over time.
