You’ve heard the stories.  Writers like J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, or Kathryn Stockett, author of The Help, overcoming rejection and rising to literary stardom.  Rowling famously penned the first Harry Potter novel while living in poverty.  Oprah Winfrey overcame a childhood of abuse and hardship to become an internationally syndicated celebrity, regarded by TIME magazine as “the world’s most powerful woman.”  Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor was raised by a single mother and still, at age 10, knew exactly what she wanted for her future.

What do you have in common with these great women?  The will to succeed.  The number of inspiring women who have come from “nothing” to “something” could fill volumes, and there’s absolutely no reason not to aspire to their ranks.  Whatever your socio-economic background, education, or ethnicity, you, too, can be a career success.

Still have your doubts? Join me on Sept. 21 from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the Crowne Plaza Cincinnati Blue Ash for “Kick Up Your Self-Esteem: How Do You Know When You Are Somebody?” where you will reaffirm, recommit, and rediscover that you are somebody.
