Notes on "Success"

 
 

Feisty women, have you ever said, “the only place success comes before work is in the dictionary”?

As a former teacher, I read these words to my class once and the entire room just let out a collective moan. I then mentioned names of celebrities, sports figures, and newsmakers who were successful because they had all worked a long time perfecting their specials skills and talents. The moans subsided and “light bulbs” went off above the heads of students across the room.

Being successful takes work and many people look for an easy out that isn’t there. As many of my feisty friends are starting businesses in their retirement, we all know that a lot of work is required to do just this. And we are putting in the time, effort, and money to begin the next successful chapter of our lives.

So, feisty women, best of luck as you begin these new businesses. My second book is now available! I will be starting book 3 shortly.
