Think Like an Investor When Job Interviewing What's easy to forget when you're looking for a new job is that you are interviewing the company as much as they are interviewing you. It's about match and exchange. Do they have what you want? Do you have what they want? Every Women Entrepreneur Should Watch American Idol! I almost can’t believe I’m recommending this! But, the “America Idol” TV show is great learning about what it takes to stand out in the marketplace. Create Deliberate Relationships Bodacious Career builders know that in today’s business world value lies in relationships. Everything is introduced, evaluated, negotiated, bought, sold, resolved, ended, and enjoyed based on relationships. Even with all this high-tech stuff, it’s still all about people. Take the Work Out of Networking Networking. I find that women either love it or hate it. When they love it, they truly enjoy meeting others and are great at it.

Take a Stand It’s up to you to decide at what point you’re going to put your foot down. No one can tell you exactly how or when.

The higher up you go, the more things get accomplished by virtue of relationships and positioning. Bodacious Women know that the higher up you go in an organization, the more office politics you get. They also know that the question isn’t whether to play, but how. Think Strategically, Act Bodaciously Thinking strategically is intentionally thinking about the big picture of your career and life. You have to determine where you want to go before you can get there. Otherwise, it’s all just happen stance.
