Chapter One "Life Is LIved in Episodes and Stages"

What is the point of being a successful business women if you are not happy and suffering an unhealthy personal life? Our work is apart of the rest of our lives. We want our knowledge and enthusiasm for our job to set us apart from the rest. We all can learn new things over time by working hard and realize what we can achieve.
For the past two decades the woman in the workforce has increased from 10 percent to 30 percent. Also more women my age have attended college than before and women make up for majority in college students. I believe that the future will be up to the young women like me. The book that I am reading tells about ideas, old and new to help with growth in my career path. The ideas range from stress to style and etiquette. The book is about helping women to grow the knowledge and the tools to help and to balance in the business world.
Life is learned in episodes and stages. Episodes because they relate to time and place and stages because they evolve and are inevitable. But taking some risks can also make opportunities and can make the difference. I also learned in the book that you cannot always time your opportunities, “Controlling ones fears and anxieties by not letting them dictate premature decisions is part of a solid professional skill set.”
It also can be hard to get ahead without a little coaching. It is good to practice a fake interview. What are your strengths and your weaknesses? What do you bring to this particular job? Are you willing to work long hours? Travel? Relocate? Always expect to be asked if you have any questions and have good ones ready. And when your sitting in the chair being interviewed remember to relax. And be yourself.
