002: Did you ever wish you could have a heart-to-heart with Warren Buffet, Sara Blakely, Jillian Michaels, or Kathy Ireland?

Global Yuppies, meet GILLIAN ZOE SEGAL, entrepreneur, photographer and author of ‘Getting there: A Book Of Mentors.’ In GETTING THERE, thirty leaders in diverse fields (such as Warren Buffet, Jillian Michaels, the founder of SPANX Sara Blakely and many more) share their secrets to navigating the rocky road to success.  It is truly a book for EVERYONE.

“There’s a common misperception that highly successful people were practically born that way—that they either had a meteoric rise to the top or, at the very least, enjoyed a smooth, steady climb -- but the truth could not be further from this. In GETTING THERE: A BOOK FOR MENTORS the highest achievers set the record straight by sharing some of their lowest moments and the invaluable lessons they learned from their struggles.”

 

GILLIAN'S MAIN NUGGETS OF WISDOM:

“Pursue something that you are passionate about. Nothing is easy and if you are not passionate about what you are doing you won’t have the fuel to jump the inevitable hurdles you’ll encounter.”
 
"You don’t need to have your career all mapped out from the start. The important thing is to always keep your eyes open for new possibilities."

"The only way to get to where you want to be is to keep going in that direction."

"Never take a no from someone who can't give you a yes."

 

BEST CHALLENGE TACKLER:

“The best way persevere and reach your potential is to get inspiration from the lives of people you admire. Learn details about the difficulties these people encountered and see how they were able to move forward.”
