Dr. Willie Jolley’s principle to win BIG today “HerStory: Madam CJ Walker – Grow Your Opportunities”

As we celebrate women’s history, I want to share the success lessons we can learn from the life of Madam CJ Walker.  She started in the cotton fields of the South and worked hard and was promoted. Did she get promoted to cleaning people’s clothes, in a wash tub.  Well, one day she made a decision to change her life.  She said she was done with that. She decided to start a business helping black women to grow their hair. Many people told her she was making a big mistake, but she refused to listen. 

She went on to create a multi-million business and become the first black woman millionaire and made a number of other women wealthy in the process.  Madam Walker said the secret to her success was “do not sit down, and wait for opportunity to come to you, decide to get up and make your opportunities happen for yourself.”  So you’re not happy where you are, you can decide to change.  Don’t wait, move now!  Move right on your dreams.  This can change your life!
