In my previous life, I made a six figure salary. I was the youngest division head reporting to the president of our company and I was in charge of a 30+ person partnership marketing department. My career was on fire.
However, my daughter (who was then 3 years old) said to me one night as I was putting her to bed, "Daddy, is this a night when I wake up and you're not home?"
As my career grew, I had started traveling two weeks out of every month for my job and while my wife and I understood the nature of that responsibility, it turned out my daughter was struggling to understand why I was always leaving. After her hearing her ask that question as I tucked her into bed, I took a hard look at what life I want to live and how I want to be remembered by my daughter. Within a month, I had left my company, at the height of success, to embark on launching my start-up, www.stageoflife.com.
