The Myth: If you get into a good college, study hard, and graduate with excellent grades, you will be pretty much set for a successful career. The Reality: The biggest thing you won't learn in college is how to succeed professionally. Some of the smartest, most successful people in the country didn't finish college. None of them learned their most critical skills in an institution of higher education. And like them, most of what you'll need to learn to be successful you'll have to learn on your own, outside of school.

Until recently Tess Vigeland was a longtime host of public radio's Marketplace. It was a rewarding, high-status job, and Tess was very good at it - but she'd begun to feel restless. Without any definite, clear sense of what she wanted to do next (but an absolute certainty that what she'd been doing was no longer truly satisfying), she walked away from her dream job and into a vast unknown. Suddenly she was no longer " Marketplace's Tess Vigeland"; she was just Tess Vigeland.

Strategic for Proven Results
This book was great. I especially love how I Miss Kelly tells her story with all the ups and downs. She fully explained all this necessary for you to make the steps into entrepreneurship. I love that Ms. Kelly also explained not only the fiscal side of resources, but the personnel side, and the personal development side. This book and the workbook were so worth it! I'm going to comeback to this again and again. Time for a second read. God bless you, Ms. Kelly.
