Summary

Emma Isaacs forgot to draw up her life plan. Emma doesn’t believe in work/life balance and she's never had a five year plan -- instead she dives in headfirst to everything she does and wings it! Yet somehow she’s managed to found a multimillion-dollar global organization, become a sought-after speaker, and be recognized as a prominent voice in women’s leadership―all while raising six young children. In her book WINGING IT, Emma teaches that the only thing holding us back from having it all are our own fears, doubts and excuses. The book is a calling to chase your dreams and let go of perfection to focus on effort and attitude. Emma has built a thriving online community to support women called Business Chicks. Learn more about it with Emma Isaacs on this week's Guy Kawasaki's Remarkable People podcast.

I'm Guy Kawasaki, and this is remarkable people.

This episode's remarkable guest is Emma Isaacs.

She is the CEO of a woman's networking service that started in Australia and is now penetrating

1:00.7

the rest of the world.

1:02.4

I learned of her because of her book, Winging It, why action beats planning every time.

1:08.1

However, my first reaction to having her on the show was at best neutral, but

1:13.4

honestly, mostly negative, because the name of her organization is business chicks. Yes, you

1:20.4

heard that right, business chicks. I thought heads would explode if I interviewed the CEO of an

1:26.0

organization called business Chicks,

1:28.9

but her members love the organization and probably even the name because it is so wrong that

1:36.2

it is right. In any case, who am I to pronounce judgment? Of course, I asked her about the name

1:43.3

and you'll respect her rationale.

1:45.8

In any case, get past the name because she has a great deal of wisdom to offer women who want

1:51.1

to succeed and who want to make a difference. This episode of Remarkable People is brought

you by Remarkable, the Paper Tablet Company. Yes, you got that right. Remarkable is sponsored by Remarkable, the paper tablet company. Yes, you got that right. Remarkable is

sponsored by Remarkable. I have version 2 in my hot little hands, and it's so good, a very
