Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

—Maya Angelou

Dedicated to my mother. There will never be another

who loved me more than words could express!

She was my first cheerleader and constant supporter.

May she rest in heaven knowing we made it!

Thank you to my husband for believing in my dreams

no matter how off the wall they may seem,

for loving me and encouraging me to always do my best,

and traveling with me on this life journey with our kids,

in tow making lasting memories.

Foreword

As an educator for the past 20 years, I can attest that there is no greater source of pride than to watch your students flourish in the career path that they have chosen! The true icing on the cake however, is when they use their success to benefit future generations.

In addition to the streamlined approach to goal setting and achievement, Dr. Cork sprinkled in a personal account of her own journey to success, which gives the book a heartwarming and personal touch. This career guide gives every reader the tools to live the quote find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never work a day in your life.
