Careers are not always linear but more like a jungle gym, allowing for multiple pivots and exploration.

Sometimes, following a calling or intuition is more important than focusing on guaranteed success when making career decisions.

Learning and education can play a crucial role in starting a business, with the ability to hire consultants and learn from industry experts.

Taking risks and betting on oneself is essential, even when faced with skepticism or lack of support.

Knowing when to hire a CEO or delegate responsibilities is crucial for personal growth and preventing burnout.

Redefining personal definitions of success beyond financial milestones is important, and recognizing the courage and determination it takes to embark on an entrepreneurial journey.

Quotes:“It's okay to pivot, and it's okay to pivot once, twice, and sometimes three or four times until you feel like you get it right.” – Gail Becker“You should always bet on yourself. You should always take that bet. I can't think of a better lesson for the kids that we raise and the women that we cheer on.” – Gail Becker“It was probably easier than I thought it would be. I think that's so true in life, right? So much about life is the anxiety that we sort of build-up and think, can I do this? It's going to be horrible, whatever it is in life. And then you go through it, and you're like, okay, well, that wasn't so bad.” – Gail BeckerSocial Media:https://eatcaulipower.com/en/https://www.instagram.com/caulipower/https://www.facebook.com/caulipower/https://www.pinterest.com/caulipower/https://twitter.com/caulipowerThis episode is sponsored by Medjet.
