It's Not Where You Start...

by Richard Fenton & Andrea Waltz


A few weeks ago we shared some "What They Did Before They  Made It" stories of now famous guys.  Here's a few stories of the women who kept on...

  •     Madonna worked in a doughnut shop in Times Square.
  •     Cindy Williams (from Laverne & Shirley) worked the midnight shift at a pancake house.
  •     Carly Fiorina started in the mail room as a shipping clerk at Hewlett-Packard, the company she would one day run (and be fired from!)
  •     Greta Garbo worked as a lather girl in a barber shop.
  •     Goldie Hawn worked as a go-go dancer, as did Bette Midler.
  •     Mary Kay Ash worked two jobs; as a secretary at the Tabernacle Baptist Church and in direct sales for Stanley Home Products.

  •     Barbra Streisand's first Broadway show opened and closed in a single night.

  •     Mariah Carey worked as a coat-check girl.

    What you're doing now... does NOT define what you will one day achieve or how your story ends. Only YOU define that.

    NOtable Quotables from the Go for No! Movie

    "I don't get "No" as much as I used to - I enjoy it maybe more when I do, I really do, because how could they dare say "No" to me!  Now I just look at it in life as a challenge; well, I've got to do something better, I've got to be smarter, I've got to approach it differently, so that's how I look at every "No" right now." - Larry Winget
