Emma Johnson of Success magazine profiles CNBC anchor Maria Bartiromo in the latest issue, focusing on her hard work and the steps she took to get where she is today.
“In her new position, Bartiromo met an important mentor: Jack Welch, then chairman and CEO of General Electric, CNBC’s parent company. Among the many things Welch taught her was to take control of her life — or someone else will. ‘It’s such a basic idea — a centerpiece of success,’ she writes. ‘You can’t go through life thinking that the tide will just move you along and take you where you want to be. You have to swim there.’
“Bartiromo says the advice she received from Pilgrim and Welch has relevance during uncertain times today. Instead of hoping you can hang onto a job or survive the immediate crisis, she suggests focusing on where you want to be in five years, then taking practical steps every day toward that goal. ‘Figure out what you need. Maybe it’s more training or a broader network of colleagues and friends or a mentor. Whatever your specific needs, be proactive,’ she says.”
