Kit’s Answer

What a great question. Its great you recognize the value of work-life balance. Getting well paid is a relative thing. You will always be paid less than others, and you will always be paid more than others. In achieving being well paid you will always trade-off something else like time with family. Therefore its about the balance.

I would encourage you to think about the following:
- what do you love doing - Satisfaction is more important than pay. Satisfaction motivates you to do great work. Doing great work leads to results, which is opportunity which tends to lead to more pay.
- running a business kills family time - most business owners whether large or small complain that they have no family time. You carry the weight of the business on your shoulders. If you value family time, then do think carefully whether the entrepreneur path is right for you
- don't chase pay - i would encourage you never to think about what pays well. Almost every job has a path to get good pay. Its of course easier in some areas, but if you don't like doing area you probably won't succeed.

Alexandra’s Answer

Identify the area that you are passionate about. Learn it and absorb yourself in it, then identify ways to scale your knowledge and experience in a way that you are creating a path for others to own and follow. Work smarter not harder. But those first years will definitely be hard and challenging...embrace it and own it! Don't be afraid to ask for help along the way and identify mentors that are either doing what you want to do or doing something that contributes to your path to get to where you want to be. You may also go off course a couple of times, but remember that there is a lesson in every experience.
