Does it sound like your current situation?
While I am not networks and I do not travel often the rest are pretty much accurate. Yes I do have young children and strive to be a better family man which is one of my driver. The other is since I have acquired the experience and expert skill sets why not work for a SG organization and grow the local base instead of benefiting others ?
