Wendy Mascio is an intelligent woman, driven by her core beliefs that doing the right thing is important and family comes first, she decided to pursue a career as an entrepreneur, but not before she wanted to be a doctor. The most valuable lesson I learned from Wendy that she highlighted was that she wanted to control her income and ultimately her life &#8212; based upon her work ethic, a non-novel idea but one that many overlook and is honestly one of the hidden gems of working in sales.\u00a0\u201cOutput = Inflow \u201c an equation that seems so basic but not every career or profession you go into offers such an opportunity. Wendy discussed as a technician in a hospital the length of time you worked there is what mattered and dictated your pay and the same can be said for many public school districts, but the length of time at a job and quality of work\/output do not always have a correlation that is significant. As Wendy found out in sales, you can, if you are tenacious and willing to take calculated risk, dictate your pay and have more control over your life, she found this to be true also when running her own businesses and now as a CEO of a huge company. Many of us inspire to spend time with our families and not have a boss lurking over dictating our schedules and with sales that is possible. It all starts with that basic principle \u201cthe harder you work the more money you can make\u201d so next time you see a job posting in \u201csales\u201d don\u2019t hesitate at the opportunity to eventually sell your way to CEO.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had the privilege of having an alumni, whose been a successful Entrepreneur, come in and speak.
