Doc: I quit Accenture right when I was getting ready to make partner. Why? I had never seen my son on a Tuesday - I was away from home, working, 5 days a week. I was making stupid money - $220,000 a year in the late 90's, plus bonus, headed towards seven figure comp. Complete financial security. And I had no control of my life. My son was experiencing mental health issues. I was the guy who could buy anything and at the same time provided nothing that matters. It took a long time, 15 years, to get back to making the same money. And I had a life, my son is healthy, my marriage is healthy. I have the things that matter. And now, I have the money, too. Done my own way, on my value system. Risk? Sure. Did I expend much of my own savings getting this done? Yup. Would it have been worth it even if I didn't "make it"? Hell yes. There is no price you can place on having a rich life and doing the right thing every day.
Amazing concept and term “asymmetrical opportunity.” Keep up the great work, and an early Happy Fathers Day to you!
Thanks Kyle. I appreciate your support.
asymmetrical opportunities are a cool endeavour ... :) ... have a great Sunday!
Thanks Mav! I hope you enjoy your weekend
