A great career, a family, a sense of purpose?" is one that comes up a lot.&nbsp; I don't have all the answers. I don't have MOST of them.&nbsp; But, the the family, friends and mentors I have met along the way are helping me to figure it out.</p> <p>Whether we are looking to get the best in our business or the best in our lives, we all have a series of choices that we have to make and a series of priorities we have to set.</p> <p>Our values as people&nbsp; and as organizations are the points on the compass that help us navigate the journey.&nbsp; Luckily, there are people that we meet along the way that help us determine the points on our personal compass.&nbsp; It may be just for an instant or it may be a partner that comes along on the journey - but either way - they share something with us that helps us set our direction.</p> <p>This video shares to story of one of the people I met along my journey over 25 years ago.&nbsp; What she said stayed with me.&nbsp; It has helped in my business and my life, and her work graces the walls of my home to this very day.&nbsp; </p> <p></p> <div style="display:inline;margin:0;padding:0;" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:7d1b40d7-fd04-4a5a-a82a-97483c9057ae" class="wlWriterSmartContent"><div>[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSArDJ3E28o]</div></div> <p></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So to answer the question - can you have it all?&nbsp; I think the answer is YES, you can have it all in your business and your life IF you understand WHAT "having it all" means to you - AND you are willing to embrace the people, the ideas, and the value choices that are the markers along the path.&nbsp; So pull out your compass, plot your path, and enjoy the journey.</p> <p>Thanks for Stopping by.&nbsp; Stay Tuned...</p> <blockquote> <p>Joan Koerber-Walker</p> <div style="display:inline;margin:0;padding:0;" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:1a8c608b-96e4-4ab5-b4c5-bf1f5a5937f9" class="wlWriterSmartContent">Technorati Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Joan%20Koerber-Walker" rel="tag">Joan Koerber-Walker</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/CorePurpose" rel="tag">CorePurpose</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Having%20It%20All" rel="tag">Having It All</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Success" rel="tag">Success</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/choices" rel="tag">choices</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/priorities" rel="tag">priorities</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/business" rel="tag">business</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/career" rel="tag">career</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/life%20choices" rel="tag">life choices</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/mentors" rel="tag">mentors</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Video" rel="tag">Video</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Keynote%20Speaker" rel="tag">Keynote Speaker</a></div></blockquote>
