Thanks for your review. I, too, have read the book and because of it, I decided to quit my job. Tomorrow is my last day. I had asked my boss for a leave of absence and talked about a part-time job at my company but at the end of the day, my company wouldn’t make the compromise. Therefore, I’m going to enjoy life at home for a while (and am financially in a position to do so). My brother in-law died last year so I’m going to concentrate on doing some things for my wife and her mother. As we learned last year, a long life is not guaranteed so enjoy it NOW, TODAY, not sometime in the distant future when your kids are grown up and only remember you as a workaholic.

Now if I can only find a lucrative home business that’ll keep me away from the “desk jockey” life…

Thanks,
Rick

I’ve held true to that and have never become one of those work at home moms that spends 10 or more hours a day working.

That isn’t success to me. Succes to me is being able to take the kids to the zoo, take a vacation anytime I want, travel, or just be lazy and take a day off if I want.

Could I have more money right now had I worked my butt off everyday like some WAHMS I know? Oh, I’m sure. But it would have come at a high price. And that price would be my dreams and my family.

No thank you.

So, I’ll settle for a slower growth working few hours.

PS
Nik, you have done a lot of things I never had a clue you had done! Much more interesting of a person than I am. lol

I have started a home business and I was just happy to be at home but to know that you can have a home business and still make time for the things you care about, traveling and spending time with family being #1 in my book, well I got excited. I have started a travel business to help me get where I am going. I will be able to make money and also receive discounted travel, the best of both worlds. My kids are excited!

I’ll have to check out this book :-).

Hugs-

Yeah, sometimes we get so busy working to be successful, we forget to ask ourselves, “what do I really want?”
If you are working to make a better life for yourself and your kids, you need to make sure you are taking time to enjoy that. Easier said than done. I got caught up in the trap. Now I am finally making time to enjoy life. I am taking a painting class this summer and a pottery class this fall. I just started going out on dates with my husband. And we are making more time to enjoy each other as a family.
