The Tale of Going From Peanut Butter To Lear Jets

The rags to riches story is always a good one. But how often is the hero of the story actually a woman? More than you might think...

I read this in a recent article from the Daily Progress "it’s nice not to be the only woman in the lecture hall each day. Every woman likes to have girlfriends,” she said." The she was Jamala Massenburg, who was hired as a product design engineer for the Ford Motor Co. After succeeding in her career, she still wanted to improve her credentials. That's when she became one of the increasing, but still small numbers, of women to enroll at Darden School of Business.

Jamala, like many women, found that it was much easier to succeed when surrounded by other like-minded women. Does that mean, though, that you've got to enroll in business school to get ahead? The answer is unequivocably NO!

You can be whatever you want! Many women have proven it.

It does mean, though, that it's easier when you have friends. Many of us have felt that we must do everything ourselves, but the most successful women are often women who found mentors to provide inspiration, motivation and information. Many of these women, after finding success, became mentors to others as their way of giving back.

Kandee G is one of those women. An inspirational and motivational speaker who went from being a single mom who ate peanut butter from a jar to a lady who's flown on lear jets to her speaking events, Kandee G proved woman can change their lives.

Her latest book, Now Boarding: Next Stop Your Remarkable Life demonstrates exactly how a business woman can change her life by change her life by changing her thoughts.
