Key Discussion Points:
01:00 Having Goals Beyond Your Career: Take the time to evaluate and reflect on what you may be sacrificing for your career and if it is really worth it.
05:20 Creating a Balanced Vision for Your Life: It’s not about sacrificing one part of your life for another, it’s about creating a vision and goals that incorporate all aspects of your life.
08:23 Achieving Your Career Goals With Kids: To achieve your career goals while still meeting the needs of your family, you need to look at your goals in unity rather than separately.
10:15 The Power of Dreaming Big: Don’t put any conditions on your dreams (for example time and money). Once you have established that dream, do what you can with what you have to start moving in that direction.

In Summary:
Elsbeth Hurry urges us to reflect on our vision for our life and evaluate each of our goals in unity with each other rather than individually. She challenges us to dream big and take small steps to help us achieve that dream.
