It is one thing to be successful and it is another thing to be exceptionally successful. But to attain a high level of success, you have to be willing to put in the work.

The pandemic taught us a lot of things. Some good, some not so good. One important thing that lockdowns and quarantines taught us is that just because business has always been done a certain way doesn’t mean it’s because it’s the best way. If you hate your job or feel overworked and underappreciated now just may be the perfect time to say goodbye to your boss.

Women in the military who decide to transition into civilian life will find that their proven work ethic and dedication to getting a job done are valuable attributes to private-sector employers. But, challenges remain in finding work post-military. For example, military job titles can be confusing to private-sector hiring managers. Or, female service members may never have had a civilian job before, so they may not know how to write a resume and cover letter or prepare for a job interview.

Since I started writing the “Dear Guy” column , I’ve received many letters from readers asking why some people in their lives just seem unable to apologize — even when they’re clearly in the wrong.

In all areas of your life—life, work, relationships, money, business, etc., ditch your plan B. Nothing great comes from having a fall-back plan. Consider marriage. Anyone getting married knows that divorce is possible if she gets in and wants out. But would you ever suggest to your bestie that she marry someone with that in mind? No…you probably wouldn’t, because love, like life, needs—and deserves—an all-in sort of commitment.
