4 Lessons to Success

Violet Benson
About this episode

Hey Besties! We got another 2-part Solo episode. This time though, we will talk about serious stuff, like life lessons, getting a job, and having a career. Surprise! Surprise!

High school didn’t have any notable academic achievements but I did have a degree in Accounting and studied business law undergrad. Why am I talking about this? Well, the LIFE LESSONS I’m going to talk about is to show you how a high school underachiever got an internship with the District Attorney’s office, got a new job position created in an accounting firm, and got to compete with overly qualified men for a promotion. You gotta work that ass, bestie!

As my Dad had said to an 11-year-old Violet, “All you will have is your education and your career. So you better think smart and you better start now!”

What to Listen For:

  • 00:00 Introduction
  • 02:40 Sometimes, it’s really nice to feel appreciated
  • 03:46 I was invited to a Coachella private party 
  • 06:43 This is my theory about short men…
  • 08:54 On to more celebrity news
  • 12:31 Let me tell you about this British guy
  • 16:33 That’s how bad I was in school

  • 30:16 Lesson #2: When you hear a NO, find a way to get a YES
  • 36:39 Lesson #3: How do you perfect an interview?
