Disclaimer: I am trying, for the first time, AI assistance for this post. The thought of subject was mine, the contents are 99% AI generated! This will be a 5-part series, and I hope that someone finds this helpful. It is a subject that comes up often (usually by way of my 37 yo daughter saying to me "I don't want to adult today").

Hmmmm, I am sensing a trend here on my blogs... Are you happy in your career? If not, maybe you should consider a change. My current path happened late in life, in my late 40's to be precise. Once I chose a new career, I haven't stopped, or looked back. While I don't begrudge the long hours I put in, my family also pays a price, so think careful …
I have no doubt that this group is full of individuals who work long, hard hours...we are all dedicated to our professions, client's and staff. But what about family. Contrary to what my significant other thinks, time in my office is NOT like a day at Disney! That being said, I do love my work and am always worried about meeting my client's needs …
As we all come out of Father's Day weekend, I wanted to share a thought about "family". I have come to realize, (with much reminding by my wonderful partner Stewart) that family is not just blood relations. For instance, this past weekend we traveled to Texas. The main impetus of the trip originally was to surprise my best friend of some 45 years …
I have noticed on several occasions, that being like minded about a professional team can break down walls. Some of the judges I appear in front of like to have conversations with my clients regarding their favorite teams, which is a great ice breaker. Even the new Pope has a say in this. We are frequent guests at our local dog park, and there are …
My mate and I recently took a 4 week vacation. While I was trepidatious to be away from my practice (and our sweet pup) that long, we were both looking forward to escaping the constant news of the party shenanigans. Well, not so easy. America is, unfortunately, the talk of the world, and not in a good way. We were greeted kindly in all 3 countri …
So, we all take vacations, or at least we all SHOULD take vacations, but I digress.... Here are a few questions for you: What is the longest vacation you have taken? What did you do to prepare your office prior to leaving? How long did it take upon your return to normalize your work routine and hours again? I am leaving tomorrow for the longest vac …
...come in many forms. I would like to offer a new opportunity to our wonderful Gothamites. A new Long Island Dinner Group is set to kick off on April 29th! Come one come all, ride the circuit. Join old friends, make new friends and explore all that is the best about Gotham. Help Shawn Bernabeu. Carly Hariton and I, along with Nancy Schess and …
As we approach the holidays, whichever you may celebrate, the one common denominator is family...always has been, hopefully always will be. So, spend time away from your career - body AND mind - smell the Folger's coffee brewing (still one of my favorite holiday commercials) - watch the snow fall while you sit by a cozy fire drinking hot chocolat …
Just when you thought things were in cruise mode...BAAAMMM .... out of the blue life can deal you a wicked hand. However, when this happens, you instantly know who your friends are. The ones who support you and encourage you. I have many such friends in Gotham. I am also fortunate to have a very supportive family. So in this instance, I was c …
In life, we all have regrets...things we should have done / anticipated that we did not. We all have the ability to make the life of someone else brighter just by a kind word, just by reaching out when you know they are down. Never let an opportunity to show concern for others pass you by. You never know when one contact from anyone will make …
Yesterday I celebrated 10 years of practicing under my own shingle. It has zoomed by! (That term takes on a whole new meaning these days) Looking back, I recognized what I had known all along...I did not do this alone. I had some great mentors and so many great colleagues who have trusted me to handle their clients needs. I also have a phenomenal …
As we close out the hot months, we all still need cold libations with great friends that we have made through networking connections. Join Fred and I tonight.... Buoy Bar 72 Bayside Drive Point Look Out, NY 11569 6:00 - 8:00 This is a pay as you go event but you can sign up (email rosalia@gothamnetworking.com) or just show up! …
I am struck with more than the usual traveling fears. My fears normally center around my clients being taken care of? Missing a deadline while out of the office for an extended time. Are my employees overworked trying to cover for me? How is my 100.9 year old mother-in-law going to fare while we are gone? The normal white noise that all self emp …
Do you have the option to work remotely and/or in person? I work from home 2 days per week, if I choose, but work in the office the other 3-5 days. While I find I am more productive in the office, I also enjoy the comradery of my coworkers. However, that couple of days a week at home allow me to handle some things around the house that I would no …
