A very good morning.
I need your advice on my career life. I am 35 years old, a working mom with 3 kids. I work in sales line (can consider own business) and I am earning averagely 12-15k a month.
Seriously, this amount is very little if i need to send 3 kids to study in overseas. I gotta work extra hard. The income that I earn is no way to accumulate to RM1million in 10 years time, I need to save at least RM10k a month in order to accumulate to that amount.
I am planning to incorp a new company with one of my partner to venture into other potential field. I need to earn more money. I have a problem here. I am very close with my kids now as I am not working in the weekend. With that new company, i might need to travel more often, which means I will have to leave the kids with my parents probably one or two weekend in a month. Do you think this is unacceptable?
My current timing is still ok as I always see them since my working time is pretty flexible. I guess i might feel sorry for leaving the kids at my parents' place but at the same time, i need to achieve something. I can only leave one life/ one time in this world. I cant die without achieving something which I know I am capable of.
I am now still doing my MBA which helps in my career. Completing in a year or two. I am busy but I am happy yet I feel sorry for my kids which I shouldn't as I realize most of the working mom do not have the time that I am having now. What should I do to minimize my guiltiness feeling?
Rgds,
A lost mom
