Paralympic medalist Bonnie St. John says to quit this common habit if you want to be successful.
As Paralympians compete for gold in Pyeongchang, South Korea, medalist Bonnie St. John has advice for those who want to succeed: Never ask for permission.
So how did this self-described"one-legged black girl from San Diego" go on to achieve so much, after having her right leg amputated at age five? She adds that she sees this common habit most often among females, in her current job as a leadership consultant for Fortune 500 companies. Women need to stop seeking permission and validation, she says, and must go after things"with drive and a positive outlook."
Still, that didn't deter her from practicing and she quickly improved. But being a good skier wasn't good enough for her, she says. She wanted to be a champion.
