It takes courage, persistence and grit because fear, uncertainty, and doubt—FUD—is always lurking, trying to coax you back to the safety of a “real job.” That’s why it’s extra important to understand why you’re taking the path of self-employment.

Project management involves creating lots of documentation. If you look into project management standards, you will find at least a dozen of various plans, multiple types of reports, and numerous other documents.

I said that if the coach wanted to move up the hierarchy in the organization, the coach needed some form of management experience.

I wasn’t writing about women who have competed or participated in women's sports but rather, those women who have attained positions in what has traditionally been the men's bastion. These women have become refs , managers , or in some cases, even players in the male arena.
