She wanted To raise a family
In Career Pursuits, we have to be
Realistic about our choices between
Ambition and Family.
Steer clear of the illusion
of
Balance
What makes these choices important?

But Why Listen To me?

Think it through.

In Career Pursuits, we have to be
Realistic about our choices between
Ambition and Family.
What’s more Important To You?
Of working mothers are
Happiest working part-time
Putting their career second.
My Father Worked hard, But missed his family Grow.

What’s at risk if we attempt to balance these lifestyles
http://www.flickr.com/photos/24258698@N04/2300402805

Balance is not impossible, but difficult at best
She chose to walk away
From her career to raise a
Family.

Ambition Takes 100%
Raising a family is a full-time
job.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/40645538@N00/3372060864

So, what if you have a family with two career driven parents?
Communicate.

Be REALISTIC.
IN SUMMARY
In Career Pursuits, we have to be
Realistic about our choices between
Ambition and Family.
Take your Road.
But Be realistic
On your Journey.

Ambition Vs Family, and The Unrealistic Balance.

Notas del editor

  1. Short story about myself losing his family and loved ones, due to his constant strides for success.
  2. Short story about someone living with the regret of “what if” by choosing her family and not pursuing her dreams
  3. The Big Idea: In career pursuits we have to be realistic about our choices between ambition and family. If you want to be successful in your pursuit of dreams sacrifices must be made. You must be willing to walk away from everything you love to be successful.
  4. Why is this important? If this is not recognized early on, you can lose years of your life spinning your wheels in place. Choosing your path needs to be decided now.
  5. : My audience should listen to me, because not only am I speaking from experience, this is something that all people will experience in their pursuits of success
  6. : Call to Adventure: Being realistic about our choices are important. Take time and Think about your passion. What is your big picture?
  7. In career pursuits we must choose between ambition and family. There can never be a balance. 1. Realizing what’s more important to you. Your career, or your family. 2.Understanding what’s at stake if you don’t make a decision. The possibility of losing both. 3.Knowing that each option takes 110% and any attempt to balance will hurt the other significantly
  8. Supporting Point one: Realizing what’s more important to you.
  9. Create factual graphing survey to support this point.
  10. Story about my father’s choice of career over family, and it’s echoing effects.
  11. : Supporting Point two: Understanding what’s at stake if you’re not realistic.
  12. Story about someone who waited until his career was in full force, and raising a demanding family.
  13. Story about someone who chose family first over ambition.
  14. : Supporting Point three: Knowing that each option takes 100% and any attempt to balance will hurt the other significantly.
  15. Story about how raising a family is a full time job
  16. Provide facts of double careered households, and its effects on the children.
  17. Call to Action: Communicate with your family, if you have one established. Communicate with your spouse. Or decide today which deserves your full attention.
  18. Summarizing main points: 1.Realizing what’s more important. 2. Understanding what’s at stake if you don’t make a decision. 3. Knowing that each option takes 110% and any attempt to balance will hurt the other significantly
  19. The Big Idea: In career pursuits we have to be realistic about our choices between ambition and family. If you want to be successful in your pursuit of dreams sacrifices must be made. You must be willing to walk away from everything you love to be successful
  20. Clincher: You can save a lot of pain and anguish by deciding what you’re path will be today. Don’t create disconnect between you and your family because you were so focused on your career. Don’t let your career suffer because you couldn’t decide on raising a family, or pursuing your dreams. You must act now, decide now. these are two different paths. Take your road.
