[quote=Anonymous]The keys are a supportive spouse, extreme efficiency, and setting appropriate boundaries. I have three kids (HS, MS, ES) and I have managed to advance professionally while still being a mom (I may miss some things during the school day, but I am extremely present). I am on track to make 7 figures this year.

My husband works but has a much lower-stakes career. We are really good at organizing carpools (I am always extremely cognizant of putting points on the board whenever I can - if I can drive a carpool, I always make sure to do it.)

The key to my advancement has really been learning to make every hour I work as productive as possible. You will never see me chatting around a water cooler, and I am always eating lunch at my desk with food I brought from home (unless I have a work-related lunch). I pass on evening events unless they are absolutely mission-critical.

We have a weekly house-cleaner, but that's it for household help. Kids are responsible for their own laundry and a bunch of household chores (dishes, cutting grass, etc). [/quote]
