Build Your Career Around What Matters Most, or You’ll Regret It Later That's why it's critical to build your career around what matters most to you from the start, or risk regretting your decisions later. Realizing I'd Made a Huge Career Mistake Growing up as the youngest of eight children, I was fortunate to have a lot of family time. Fifteen years later, and with two kids of my own, I realized one evening just how much quality family time mattered to me-and how I'd made a critical career mistake. Readjusting Priorities In building a career that involved a lot of travel, I had abandoned one of the fundamental things that makes life great: family. My family built new traditions together, and we continue to build upon them today. Finding the perfect balance between work and family didn't happen overnight, and there were times when I slipped into my old habits of chasing money at the expense of other things. Creating a Career that Fits Your Life The reason I'm sharing my story is to stop you from taking another job you hate-or worse, from tearing apart the life you're trying to build. To create a career you'll love, you have to start with what matters most. If you value family, build a career that allows you to be home every night. If you value travel, make sure you can take time off or do your job on the road. The possibilities for how you shape your career are nearly endless, but unless you build it around what matters most to you, you risk creating a professional life that is incompatible with your personal life.
