Is it important to balance professional success in your life, and if so,
how do you balance success with your life?
WARE
I think it’s important, David, to balance success in life. It starts
where we began in this conversation—defining what s uccess is for you
before you even try to attain it.
That word “balance” reminds me of a juggling act, so there is an
imbalance. I like to think of it as integrating my professional success
with the rest of my life, so by default I have built my business around
my lif e.
When I took the time to reinvent my lif e, going from working in a
corporate environment to being an independent entrepreneur, I took
the liberty of creating the life I wanted to live. Every day that shapes a
little bit and forms a little bit. I got more clarity as I continued on the
jo urney, but that integration made me look at the value of family time
and the value of personal time to reflect and to recharge.
WRIGHT
Well, what a great conversation. I’ve learned a lot here today;
however, I didn’t learn how you came to name your company Blue
Beagle consulting.
WARE
That’s so funny. Yes I’ve actually signed clients because they had a
beagle and they knew that was a sign to work with me.
