Hey Y'all!!
I know this is late, I'm sorry! I had such a busy weekend (starting Thursday) attending workshops, and getting things ready for Monday's Big Announcement!
The questions can be found here:

Here we go:
This FINALLY finishes up the work questions section!
76. What’s the worst career decision you’ve ever made? Leaving Fabulous Gang (Salon) for Fiesta Hair & Tanning. Or really not going back when the owner called and offered me a huge sign on bonus and the Salon Manager position if I'd come back.
Fiesta was such a hard company to work for, the rules only applied to some, the mandatory travel meetings only applied to some, the receptionists would write up retail sales under her name so she'd earn more money, breaks were non existent even if we were dead.
Fabulous Gang was a smaller salon, in a smaller town, but it was just as busy and had loyal customers.
77. Do you consider yourself good at networking? Not really, I'm not much of a people person.
78. What career advice would you give to your younger self? I don't know. I learned something from everywhere along the way.
79. Do you believe in having a "five-year plan"? Not really.
80. How do you separate your work life from your home life? I don't start working until Hubby and I have shared a meal (breakfast or lunch, he works 2nd shift) and I quit for the day by 7:30 most days. I take breaks in-between sometimes too, that's the nice thing about working from home.
81. When will you know you've "made it"? When I can rely on my income to pay some bills every month. That's the current goal.
82. Are you looking forward to retiring, or do you plan to work as long as possible? I'll do this as long as I can, I truly enjoy it!
83. Have you ever had "imposter syndrome"? Nope.
84. What do you think about workaholics? You do you Boo. For me other things are more important.
85. What qualities do you look for in a boss? Constrictive critic, creative, fair.
86. Do you have a professional mentor? If not, do you want one? Not really, and no I don't really want one. I get tips, tricks, advice, ideas, etc. from several sources (online and in person) and that's enough for me.
87. What energizes you about your career? The ability to create freely.
88. Are you into after-work happy hours? I never participated much once I was an adult. I got along with most of my coworkers along the way just fine, but we all had other real life adulting to do after work.
89. How do you motivate yourself in your career? IDK. I guess because I'm interested and invested in what I do, and love to create it's pretty easy. I don't think about it, I create a loose schedule and just do it.
90. What's the best career advice you've ever heard? Don't stay somewhere that doesn't respect you as a person.
91. What's the worst career advice you've ever received? Not really advice but the worst reason to stay in a dead end is because "It's a paycheck". There are too many good jobs out there to stick with something you hate.
92. When you started your current job, what most surprised you? How much more work it is, and how much I love it.
93. How do you pick yourself back up after making a mistake at work? Fix it, and move on.
94. How do you deal with work stress? Take a break.
95. Do you have a work bestie? Myself?! LOL
96. What's one work-related thing you want to accomplish in the next year? BIG SALES!
97. Who has had the biggest impact on your career choice? More of a what, not a who. The plan after my previous job location closed was to take the rest of the Summer off, and start looking in the Fall when school started back. Life had other ideas. I got sick, and then Covid was also happening during treatment. I started crafting again, and this became my "job".
98. What does your family think of your career? They think it's cool.
99. What's the best thing you've learned in your current position? Working for yourself is so rewarding.
100. If you could do it all over again, would you pursue the same career? Why or why not? I don't know. Where's the "re-start" point? Maybe if I'd have stayed in Ohio I'd have stayed in the beauty industry. Maybe I'd have stayed in retail. Maybe I'd use my business administration degree in some high-rise in Cleveland... Who knows? Or maybe all paths would lead me right here anyhow.
Judging from the views on the previous 200 question blog Y'all were not fans of the work related section. Next sections are not work related, they go into other aspects (family, values, random, etc). Are you interest in these in the future? Should I finish up in one blog, or break it up? Quit with the questions here? Let me know in the comment section below!!
Have a great day,
Craftin' Wife
