1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,640
Where would you say that this vision of leaving the corporate America and

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,680
going into helping businesses and people come from?

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:17,000
Well, I was fortunate enough to have an awesome mentor and coach at Intel.

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,280
I spent almost 18 years there.

5
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:25,840
And one of the things that she did with me was, we created a 10 year plan.

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:31,560
When I was 40, was to take a look at where I wanted to be 10 years from now.

7
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,640
And there were steps in between where you want to be at two and five and seven and

8
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:36,160
so forth.

9
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:43,880
And ultimately by her providing me this level of coaching and

10
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:49,720
thinking about things much more beyond just the kind of the immediacy.

11
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,720
It really kept me focused on doing the right things.

12
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:58,720
And I think the right things were investing wisely,

13
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:04,440
getting additional education, taking positions that ultimately I

14
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:10,360
could transfer that knowledge into the consulting world.

15
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,800
Not just taking a position for an additional title or

16
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,040
additional financial gain.

17
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:23,760
And by kind of staying that route and continually checking in on a regular basis,

18
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:28,120
I think it really provided, it maintained the vision so

19
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:33,760
that I made better decisions than I would have if I just did everything kind of year

20
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:34,360
