Well, in my case - I know that a couple of my relatives honestly believe I just 'fell' into this, and have no idea the effort I put into building my business and replacing the income I had in the corporate world. But I also have a feeling that they probably figured I got that corner office in the corporate world by batting my eyelashes at the right person.
Sigh....everyone has a few branches in the family tree that droop pretty low, I am afraid ;-)
That's a clever turn of phrase. "branches in the family tree that droop pretty low."
Love it.
