THE MILLION DOLLAR DOG

Building a Career that Operates on Your Terms By Tony Sims

I spent most of October through early January on the road with a couple of capital projects in shops mostly in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area, with a short stint in St. Louis. I decided to drive back and forth from home to the projects and to spend extra time sightseeing and enjoying the trips, and I took my dog I rescued a few years ago with me. Jolie is a 40 lb. terrier mix that I believe is mostly Brittany Spaniel or some sort of bird dog, but I need to do a DNA test to be sure. Anyway, she’s a great companion and loves people and loves to travel. She forces me to be active and we discovered a lot of amazing parks and trails during our travels. For most of my career I couldn’t have a dog because I traveled a lot and worked under conditions that weren’t accommodating to dogs. So, now that I have intentionally designed my career to operate on my terms, I can have a dog! Little did I know that with the right awareness and mentors, I could have designed my career to operate on my terms many, many years ago and I’m going to suggest that you can too! During the few months on the road, after some boarding time, pet fees at the hotels, and other associated fees, Jolie earned the title of “The Million Dollar Dog” because that’s probably what it’s going to end up costing me over her lifetime to tag her along on the trips that I prefer to take her on!
