A Woman Makes a Plan
A Woman Makes a Plan: Advice for a Lifetime of Adventure, Beauty, and Success | Maye Musk
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
The international supermodel shares personal stories and lessons learned from a life of "living dangerously--carefully" Maye Musk at seventy-one is a fashionable, charming, jet-setting supermodel with a fascinating and tight-knit circle of family and friends. But things were not always so easy or glamorous--she became a single mom at thirty-one years old, struggling through poverty to provide for her three children; dealt with weight issues as a plus-size model and overcame ageism in the modeling industry; and established a lifelong career as a respected dietitian, all the while starting over in eight different cities across three countries and two continents. But she made her way through it all with an indomitable spirit and a no-nonsense attitude to become a global success at what she calls the "prime of her life." As the twenty- and thirtysomethings who follow her obsessively on social media know, Maye is a fount of frank and practical advice on how the choices you make in every decade can pay off in surprising, exciting ways throughout your life. In A Woman Makes a Plan, Maye shares experiences from her life conveying hard-earned wisdom on career (the harder you work, the luckier you get), family (let the people you love go their own way), health (there is no magic pill), and adventure (make room for discovery, but always be ready for anything). You can't control all that happens in life, but you can have the life you want at any age. All you have to do is make a plan.

This is a very interesting book about Elon Musk's mother. She has been a model and a dietitian for many years. At 71 she is still modeling and has written this book about her life. She got married in her early 20's and had 3 children in 3 years. Her eldest son, Elon, at the age of 12 was reading encyclopedias.

EadieB He started a software company called Zip2 with his brother, Kimbal. He was offered a job at Microsoft after they sold their company for 304 million dollars. His mother divorced her husband at age 31 as he was very abusive. She raised her 3 children at poverty levels until Elon and Kimbal told her to buy herself a house and they would pay for it. She decided to move to New York as that was where she was modeling. 1mo
EadieB She originally was born in Canada where her father bought an airplane and they finally ended up in South Africa where her children were born. They eventually moved back to Canada and then onto California. Elon later developed and started Tesla, an electric car company, and SpaceX, a rocket company. If you like books about interesting people, then you would enjoy this book. Highly recommended! 1mo
