Martha Stewart

The drive and the ability to do a job well is how Martha Stewart is defined. Martha Stewart was born just out of the great depression. World war two was coming to an end, and her father taught her how to garden well. She learned how to clean and cook very well from her mother. She didn't seem to be interested in playing with dolls, or other things children liked to do. She much preferred to cook and help her mother.

When she was schooling age, she aced everything she put her head to. She was excellent especially at art. She excelled through highschool and was one of the only girls who went into advanced mathematics.

She heard that she could get into modelling, and got an amazing job getting paid $15/hour. She also pulled together the prom with her father in 1959. Upon graduation, She recieved a scholarship to Barnard College and continued to model to make a living through college. In 1961, martha was living in New York and learned how to utilize work as her relaxation ethic.

She had fallen in love with a man named Andy Stewart. So she married him, and dropped out of college. She worked full time to get Andy through law school. After he had finished and they both travelled the world together, she went back to Barnard, and trained herself to take care of both of them. She became pregnant and her modelling career became slack.

1968 - 1971 Marth was commanding a six-figure salary working as a broker. She and her husband moved from the city and moved to Westport, and bought a old farm house. They transformed the old farmhouse into a beautiful place. She built up her reputation of an excellent hostess. She successfully created a catering business. Unfortunately, she lost her temper, and stuck to her perfectionism. A lot of her employees couldn't take it.

When her and her husband celebrated the release of one of his books, a publisher loved her food and presentation so much that he wanted to publish a cookbook for her. After "Entertaining. By Martha Stewart" was released, her career took off.

The more she got into her business, the more she fell away from her family. Her husband left and divorced her, and her daughter went off to college. She lost touch with her mother and her siblings as well.

She lived through her mistakes and continued to run her empire. She is now worht 638 million.

From Martha Stewart's life so far, I can learn that you can surround yourselves with interesting and successful people, and learn from them. I also learned that you can incorporate skills and passion into a career that gets you far. By making smart moves, you can build an empire for yourself... Love comes first. Whether thats referring to your spouse, to your children, or to your other immediate family and friends. Integrity and honesty come next in line. I think if you maintain those key elements, you can have the success you seek.
