Greenwood concludes : “ Those of us in the industry could probably do a better job of speaking up and making women of all ages aware of a great and growing opportunity . Endeavour to always find your niche , your passion , your stride , and find your value proposition as soon as possible . If you do not feel that you ’ re insanely invaluable , then you should promptly change paths .
“ As the famous Zig Ziglar said : “ You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want .” If you can ’ t define how you can help people get what they want , push reset and figure it out . Then get back in the game .”
