chance take-a-chance happy-endings
Taking chances almost always makes for happy endings.
dog jobs boss
I was a hot-dog stand lady, I was an orphan housemother, I was a waitress 3 or 4 times. All of those jobs did not have good bosses. They basically told you what to do, when to do and when to hop. And I just didn't like that very much.
jobs giving parent
I did everything in my power to give my brokers brand identity and clout in the market. I saw my job as parent to build them up and if I took care of them, then they would take care of their customer.
entrepreneur study sometimes
You can't study to be an entrepreneur. Sometimes, you just have to jump.
motivational want dresses
If you want to be noticed, dress the part.
running new-york wall
I became a larger than life figure for one reason only. When you're quoted in the 'Wall Street Journal,' the 'New York Times,' constantly as the expert in the business people assume you're a lot bigger than you are. And then I had to run like hell to catch up with my own image.
sex cards calling
Sex appeal is in the workplace every day of the week. I'm not saying that's the only calling card, but it's a whole crayon box.
people wheels best-times
The best time to expand is when people are asleep at the wheel.
my-time
I'm never in control of my time during the workday.
names i-love-myself love-myself
I love myself. Anything that has my name I'm tickled to death.
jobs feet people
I got along with people very well at every job I had, people liked me and I liked them and I loved being on my feet.
thinking years balance
I gave up years ago on the concept that you could actually have balance in your life, I think it's a phantom chase.
two break-even long
Refinancing your mortgage usually makes sense if you can lower your interest rate by at least two points. But the most important question to ask yourself is, how long will it take you to break even?
strong husband home
My husband had a very strong identity and was successful in his life. Thank God for that. There's no way I can control him. I wouldn't stay married to him if I felt I could. I can readily take my business personality into the home. But he forces me to be a partner rather than the boss.
