98. And then Jack Canfield called her!
She was a mother, raising her child, never even thinking about owning her own business, and as her daughter got older, she was threatening to go back to work, when the right thing came along.

Little by little, one introduction lead to another and she began working for someone who was willing to work around her schedule and requests.\xa0 She told him what she wanted, and then they began a trial period of 30 days to see if it would work.\xa0 It would work\u2026
\xa0
Along the way she's had several incredible breaks. Especially one day when Jack Canfield's VP was in her audience and then she got the call.\xa0 Jack Canfield called her and that began a new phase.
\xa0
She learned very quickly that it's all about communications skills: tell people what you want.\xa0 And even more importantly, a sense of humor rules! (I couldn't agree more.)

My guest this week, Lois Creamer, very wisely reminds us: we're all selling and marketing ourselves, every day!

If you want to have a great life and love your work. Be sure to:
- Make changes, take chances, and follow your dreams
- Remember: there will always be ups and downs in your work or any area of your life
\xa0
And from her famous, often shared words: "You risk a "yes" every time you ask for something. Are you willing to take the risk?"
\xa0
As all of my interviews have been proving, it is possible to love your work and your life.\xa0
\xa0
Ultimately, Lois has the life she has because she wanted to have no regrets. What a great lesson. This is exactly why I do the work I do!
