Business skills I learned in ABWA: adversity can't deter determination

Article Abstract:

Susan Walton, a survivor of the Oklahoma City bombing on Apr 19, 1995, refused to give up on her plans to establish a non-profit organization despite the serious injuries she sustained from the bombing. In 1997, she started the organization Suited for Success which provides women in welfare-to-work programs with appropriate apparel to enhance their employability. She also conducts seminars to help unemployed women gain self-confidence and have the necessary work skills.

Life after business: plan for life's 'unexpecteds'

Article Abstract:

Women who have had their first child or have accumulated a certain degree of personal wealth should consider making plans for a living will. Divorced women should also contemplate such decisions to prevent the courts from moving in on personal choices. A living or a durable power of attorney appoints a confidante or a family member to make decisions in case the executor of the living will is mentally or physically incapable of making decisions for herself.
