Relationship status and career

What, if any, relationship status of yours helped or coincided with a pivotal move in your career that eventually (doesn't have to have been immediate) led to a great success? Can be starting a business, getting a job you had long wanted, getting a CXO role or anything like that...

I think the two biggest drivers of success are obvious: Interest in subject matter Ability to focus / discipline

True, but in addition to these, I'm pretty sure at least some got a push or support through a relationship... Or even say the second income in the household helping you decide to give up your job and start a business...

Well, well rounded life and emotional stability and happiness does affect work and any aspect of life. If you find a partner who makes you happy it does have a positive impact on other things in life

It is much easier to start a company when you can both live off of your parter/spouse’s income. We’ve followed that model for three businesses.

Don't tell them your real TC, say it's like 100k so you can lose men that are they for the TC.
