Changing Seasons, Changing Careers

With the days getting shorter and the evenings getting cooler, it really is starting to feel like the seasons are changing. It’s a good time to reflect on how you spent your work life last fall and winter, and make some serious choices about whether you want a repeat of that this year. A career as a contract executive, not an employee, gives you freedom, flexibility and control. It’s still a busy life, but you call the shots about who you want to work with and what type of work you want to do. And best of all, you can work with a variety of clients at the same time which gives you lots of intellectual challenge, keeps the days busy, and allows you to use the range of skills that you have developed over your long and successful career.

How She Does It - Interesting to see what are the most popular threads in this folder, judging by how many hits each thread gets. There must be a lot of moms out there who want to start businesses. I'm currently reading How She Does It: How Women Entrepreneurs are Changing the Rules of Business Success, by Margaret Heffernan. Some interesting statistics: Between 1997 and 2006, privately held businesses owned by women grew at 3 times the rate of all American privately owned firms, women's companies are creating jobs and growing profits at twice the rate of all firms and are responsible for more payroll than all of the Fortune 500 companies combined. This book tells the stories of a few women who have made it big...recommended reading so you know that "you can do it, too."
