Whether you like Joan or not, you must admit she's a winner in her own right. Beyond the face lifts and the tough exterior, Joan has won the hearts of many. As a businesswoman she can teach us as writers a lot about succeeding in the writing game.
At the age of 75, Joan was able to defeat her nemesis, poker player Annie by possessing the following traits:
- Guts
- Stamina
- Being real
- Knowing how to handle and get along with different personalities, including the Donald!
Joan's behavior in the apprentice can help us in the world of writing. She teaches us to be:
- Tough in the face of rejection, writer's block, and discouragement
- Persistent with our writing despite how we feel
- Honest with our readers and the general public with our writing
- Diverse in how we deal with different types of people in the business of writing.
When we bring our best and remain consistent, even in the difficult times of our writing journeys, we may hear the two famous words from publishers and other writing organizations, "You're Hired!"
