One Smart Cookie: How Fields Baked Her Way to the Bank
With no college degree, no support from her family, and no money, Fields was able to start up not only her own business, but a multimillion dollar one at that. How did this housewife become one of America’s greatest success stories and the name behind some of the country’s most beloved cookies?
Lesson #1: Go In Search of Inexperience
Eastman was a hard worker at the Rochester Savings Bank. He was meticulous in his record-keeping and never missed a day, despite staying awake at nights to work on his photographic dry plates. So, when he was passed over for a promotion in favour of one of the bank executive’s relatives, he was outraged. If his work was not going to be recognized, then he did not want to be doing it any longer.

Lesson #1: Make Your Critics Eat Their Words
“The greatest failure is not to try,” says Fields. “Had I listened to all the people during the course of my life who said, “You can’t. You’ll fail. It won’t work. You don’t have…,” I wouldn’t be here today.”

8 Reasons You Are Not Getting a Job Offer
Are you really too old, too young, overqualified or lacking the right education? Is the deck really stacked against you? Not likely!! Chances are you only need to improve the way you present yourself. Recently, a lady approached me after one of our seminar presentations on Career Management. She had been through 63 job interviews and wanted me to look at her resume to see what was preventing her from getting job offers. Hearing that she had 63 interviews let me know I did not need to look at her resume at all; it was doing an excellent job, getting interviews is the only purpose of a resume. So her problem was not in the resume, but something in her personal presentation.

Your Core Desire for Learning
With so much to learn, it can be difficult to know where to begin. Focus on your Core Desires as a way of defining the direction of your learning. This will allow you to maintain peak interest while collecting information and processing data. If you are learning about things you are not interested in, your enthusiasm will quickly wane. Suppose you have a Core Desire to learn how to ski. Eagerly you seek to accomplish this desire-you buy the best equipment, take ski lessons, and willingly stand in line in the cold. You spend time listening to other skiers reveal the finer points of the sport. You ride the ski lifts even if you are afraid of heights. Because you have this Core Desire, you go all out.
Discover How to Identify Your Core Desires
Core Desires are those things you have your heart set on- what you want to be, have, or do most. One might think that identifying these Core Desires would be easy, but people often tell me, "I don't know what I want, please help me." This dilemma affects people of all age groups and crosses all political, social, and economic lines. People tell me that they don't know what they want to be, have, or do when they "grow up." They are still searching.
