Becoming a women business owner may not be as difficult as it has been in the past, but there are still challenges even today. One of the biggest challenges is simply believing in yourself. The Oprah Show features many successful women business owners, such as Cathie Black, president of Hearst Magazines. Cathie Black oversees 19 magazines in the U.S. alone including The Oprah Magazine, Cosmopolitan and Redbook. Here is what Cathie Black has to say about women breaking into the world of business(direct link):
Cathie says she understands that moms have many tasks to juggle but they must consider what’s important to them. “People say to me, ‘Oh, you’ve got it all,’ and I say, ‘Yes, on some level,’” she says. “But some days are better than others. Some days it all falls apart. Some days, someone’s sick or you’ve missed a meeting.”
No matter their occupation, Cathie says women should examine how they define success for themselves. “[Oprah has] said this forever it is, ‘Live your best life.’ Live the best life you can have,” she says. “It’s not the life that your parents said you should live or your boyfriend. It is saying, ‘What do I want? What’s going to satisfy me?’”
Finding satisfaction can mean striving for what Cathie calls a “360-degree life” balancing your time among family, career and passions. “At the end of the day, you can love your job, but your job is not going to love you back,” Cathie says.
Cathis Black was on the Oprah show promoting her new book, Basic Black, which offers business advice based on her 40 + years in the magazine publishing industry.
