WOMEN:
Are you wasting away in a
LOW STATUS, LOW PAYING job?
WHY??? "I never finished my degree. I don't have any marketable skills!" "We have so many bills - - I'm just thankful I even have a job." "I'd like to do something else, but I don't know what I want to do." "I'm too old." "I have a family to consider!" |
Do any of these sound like YOU? You MIGHT be one of millions of women who have landed in the "Pink Collar Ghetto."
Is this what you've always wanted for yourself? Or are you just settling for what you think you can get?
Do you daydream about ESCAPE? Do you fantasize about how you would GIVE NOTICE to your boss if you could only quit? (Would you give two weeks notice or would you just say "I quit!," and leave them in the lurch?)
I wrote a little book for you. It's not very long, it's easy to read, and it's cheap. And it just might help you break free!
What IS the Pink Collar Ghetto anyway? Let me illustrate.
Karen married after her second year of college. Instead of finishing her degree, she decided to work for awhile and go back to school later. Relying on the skills she learned in typing class from high school, she landed a job as an administrative assistant. The money was okay, and twenty years later, she's still basically doing the same thing. Her boss is demanding, and allows for no flexibility in Karen's schedule. Karen has some good ideas that would help the organization, but her boss won't listen because Karen is "just" a secretary.
Susan was a stay-at-home mother for sixteen years. After her divorce, she needed to work for a living, but because she had been out of the job market for so long, she settled for a job as a cashier at a grocery store. She's bored and doesn't particularly enjoy interacting with the customers. But she doesn't have the time or energy to look for anything else. Besides, she knows she'll just end up in the same kind of position anywhere else.
Nancy is beginning to think she's getting too old to wait tables. Her tips are great and she enjoys the job, but her feet hurt all the time and she's beginning to get varicose veins. Her husband wants her to keep working. He says he supports a career change, as long as it doesn't set them back financially. This means no courses, no investment, and no new clothes. Just keep the money coming in.
Rita is an office manager. She does her job very well. She says if she had it to do over again, she'd have gone into the health and fitness field, maybe even opened her own fitness center. But she's in her 40's already, so it's too late.
Cindy is a clerk at a hospital. She daydreams about starting an at-home business so she can take her daughter out of daycare. She likes to surf the internet for work-at-home opportunities. Her husband just laughs and tells her they're all scams. Besides, they need the income from her job because they just bought a car.
Does the Pink Collar Ghetto mean working as a secretary, waitress, cashier, or clerk?
NO!!!
If you choose to work in these fields and if you enjoy it, that's GREAT!
Being in the Pink Collar Ghetto means you're STUCK in a traditionally female, low-paying position, and you want OUT.

Ladies, I feel your pain!
I was there too. I quit college to get married. My husband assured me that I could go back and finish my degree soon. In the meantime, I worked a variety of jobs. I waited tables until I got sick of it. Then I worked in a factory for little more than minimum wage. I worked in retail stores. Then I landed a job as a secretary. I was excited just to have a job where I could sit down at work.
I still planned on going back to school. But every time I brought it up to my husband, it was too soon, the time wasn't right yet, we didn't have the money, and so on. I finally realized that I couldn't wait for his "permission" to follow my dreams. One of my dreams was that I wanted to earn a heck of a lot more money than I'd been able to thus far. Another dream was for a job where I could come and go as I pleased and not have to punch a timeclock.
Along the way, I discovered my passion. My passion is helping other women discover and do what they REALLY WANT to do in their lives. That's the positive spin. The negative spin is that life is too damned short, and I don't want women doing what they DON'T WANT to do for a minute longer than they have to.
Along the way, I discovered some TRUTHS that surprised me. I wish someone would have shared them with me back when I was stuck in the Pink Collar Ghetto - -
TRUTHS LIKE:
| Why a company will always consider a secretary as a SECRETARY, even if she has upgraded her skills and has been promoted. How your own BELIEF SYSTEMS can actually keep you stuck (and, with the right belief system, get you promoted, bring in more money, and set you free). How you can almost literally RESET THE CLOCK and go back ten, twenty, maybe even thirty years and do it all over again, but differently this time, now that you know better. Why the best investment you can make is in YOURSELF. How those who love you the most can actually be your GREATEST OBSTACLES (and how to change their sabotage into support). Why you are doing yourself AND THE WORLD a disservice by not discovering and following your true passion. What you think is impossible really is POSSIBLE (and you can prove it to yourself by giving it a few simple tests). and more! |
I've spoken to countless women over the years who are going to work day in, day out, and they hate it. Why do they keep going? They feel they have no choice.
Do you feel you have no choice?
You have a choice.
It is for you that I wrote "Emerging from the Pink Collar Ghetto."
Not only have I emerged from something lower than a filing clerk to a prestigious, well-paying, and gratifying career, but I've made the study of human development a bit of a hobby over the past decade. I've read countless books, talked to hundreds of successful women, and have discovered that there is a blueprint for getting out of the Pink Collar Ghetto. After all, it's been said that success leaves clues. I studied those clues and have captured them for you here, in this book.
I must warn you. Reading the book and then doing nothing will not help you. You must take the book to heart, look into some of the resources I recommend, and open your mind to the possibility that you really CAN have the life you deserve and want. If you're not ready to change, this book will be a waste of money. And although I should never discourage a sale, if you're not ready for a change, you should save your money, and keep right on living your life the way you've always been doing.
But if you're ready to unfold the map that shows the way out of the Pink Collar Ghetto, then keep reading!
In this book, you will learn:
- how to get people to see you as the person you're becoming, not the person you used to be.
- that wishing strategically can get you what you want. (Yes, wishes can come true!)
- how to find your true vocation, if you don't already know
- that age is NOT a barrier
- how to enlist your family's support
- the magic question that turns impossibilities into possibilities
- that you are SUPPOSED to follow your dreams!
When I told my friends how much I'm asking for this book, they laughed at me. They referred me to sites on the internet that were selling skimpier ebooks for twice and three times as much.
But truthfully I remember how tight money was when I was stuck in the Pink Collar Ghetto. Besides, I was married to an absolute miser at the time. It would have been too much hassle to explain the purchase. There was no way I could afford to pay $50.00 or even $25.00 for a downloadable book.
That's why I've decided to price this book at $12.95. And I don't expect to make millions on it, either. I know that many women who really need this book won't order it, because they're not ready to make a change. Other women will feel that it can't possibly help them because they're stuck in their own belief system of thinking they can't do anything other than what they're doing now.
But change is POSSIBLE!
Remember, if this book isn't satisfactory, you are entitled for a refund up to 8 weeks after the time of purchase.
Okay, if you're still reading and you haven't made the decision to order this book, that's fine, truly it is. But let me just ask you when you plan on moving forward on your life's dreams. What about those wishes you had about yourself when you were a little girl? When you were a teenager? When you first got married (if you're married, that is)?
Are you going to follow your dreams after the car is paid off? After the kids are grown? After your husband retires? In your NEXT life?
If you're shaking your head at me and saying I just don't understand because I know nothing about you, okay, you might be right! But reading this book might just give you some ideas, and that's never a bad thing!
