Sakshi Manot: Continuing the legacy through family business
Today’s generation choose to become an entrepreneur seeking innovation but abandoning the idea to join the family business. Sakshi Manot stands against all odds as a third generation heiress to her family business and has been carrying forward the legacy of her family.
Young and energetic Sakshi Manot would have never thought of joining her family business if her grandfather had not asked her to join the family business and motivated her to become a ‘boss’ in their own business rather than working for others. She could not think of anything else but join the family business immediately. She is the owner of ‘Galleria', a Guy Laroche franchise at the Labim mall and is currently pursuing her undergrad degree at the King’s College.

If you cannot establish a connection, it's just useless.” She aims to be a successful businesswoman.
Having overcomed the stereotype of sons taking up family businesses, she feels extremely privileged, proud and happy to be in family who has been supporting her throughout. “They have always motivated me to be competitive to stand at par with the males,” she shares expressing gratitude towards her family. She strongly believes in women empowerment and reckons the capacity to work to be the same between male and female.
"Business has connected me to my family and the bonding is much stronger now. At the end of each day, when we sit together, we have a common topic to talk about. We talk about sales, profitability, overcoming challenges and attaining greater heights,” she says adding “If you have interests in your family business, feel happy about it, and can connect well, it's a great idea to join the family business. It gives you the real satisfaction.”
Also, she is an example to all the ladies out there who aspire to stand tall and make a difference.

Entrepreneurs controlled the Gilded Age creating a growing economy with booming businesses and yet this has not changed over the years. John Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie can be compared to those with the names Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. Multibillionaires, who know what the consumers desire, is what these men are best at. They knew and now know business well enough to be able to control our country’s’ economy. However, these successful business men do not do it together.

Shopping gradually became characterized with elements of “incipient female networks”. Besides the widows and married women, sisters and cousins formed partnership before marriages and continued to maintain shops independently. This might be the spark of individualism and fight for gender equality later. Mary Cortes and Magret Varick’s wills illustrated that female merchants typically favored their daughter, because they made sure that
This presented the fact that women have the power to rise above circumstances, and have the courage to take a step towards a better and brighter future through not repeating the same mistakes all over
Her business quickly expanded around many areas. “When Walker transferred her business operations to Indianapolis, the Madame C.J. Walker Manufacturing Company had become wildly successful, with profits that were the modern-day equivalent of several million dollars.” Madame C.J Walker was clearly an empowering woman. “Walker was as generous as she was successful, establishing a network of clubs for her employees and offering bonuses and prizes to those who contributed to their communities through charitable works. She promoted female talent” Madame Walker was setting a great example to the woman and to African Americans.
Throughout history women have not been given the credit that they truly deserve. Women have been treated cruel since the very beginning. It takes real women to stand up for what they deserve and only certain women will do this. These women need to get credit for the chances they took and the influences they have made on the world. Famous American women have changed the world and have proved that no matter the race, size, or disabilities life might strike people with, they can still conquer remarkable feats.
In many instances, the accomplishments of our business pioneers required the same dedication and determination that was required to march or boycott unfair treatment. What fueled these business titans? They all had one thing in common. They had big dreams.
She appealed to the women who believe in equality, and people who want to make a change to better the lives of women. She believes if we treat each other equally, ideally we will live in a better world. The argument was definitely a worldwide and relatable topic. And the logical, emotional, and credibility used in this speech, strengthened many hearts of the American
Upon first glance, he notes her physical characteristics - a thin frame, dark and fearless eyes, and glowing hair - and that “the earth was as a beggar under [her] feet” (Rand 39). As beautiful as she is, however, much of what makes her beautiful is her boldness in the face of uncertainty. Defying the oppressive rules set in place by corrupt leaders requires an incredible amount of courage. In a society like Liberty’s, the governing group punishes criminals harshly and relentlessly; this amplifies her boldness. The confident preservation of her beliefs amidst the adversity she faces makes her a role model to anybody feeling powerless or oppressed.
Mother and the little boy have become self sufficient as a result of Fathers travels. Not only has she taken on the responsibility of being the sole parent, but she also has to run Father’s business. She “could now speak crisply of such matters was unit cost, inventory and advertising. She had assumed executive responsibilities” (112). Mother’s new found business knowledge makes her feel empowered as a woman.
The love of a family is life’s greatest blessing. In life, there is a universal desire for oneness among people—we want to belong. It is why we collaborate, support common causes, cheer for sports teams, feel nationalism; it’s why we build villages, towns, and cities. Families are where we connect ourselves in relationships to past, current, and future generations. For many, family is not only a blessing, but our greatest accomplishment.
A young, 27-year-old, co-founder of the frozen smoothie kit company PACK’D, Luke Johnstone, was named young entrepreneur of the year in 2016 (“From Freezing Shed to Frozen Drinks Rise of the Smoothie Operator” par. 1). Like the Woodstock entrepreneurs, Johnstone quit his job to start his business, but he was not lucky enough for his dream to happen in just a short nine months like the other four men, his took two years of living in a shed in the back of his parents garden (“From Freezing Shed to Frozen Drinks Rise of the Smoothie Operator” par. 4). Another young entrepreneur, like the Woodstock entrepreneurs, is high school sophomore, Natalie Abbott. Abbott turned her 4-H project into her business, The West Hill Honey Company, where she sells honey and lip balm(“Chi-Hi Student Wins State Business Award” par. 1). Although Abbott is younger than the Woodstock entrepreneurs, they are alike because she did not work alone, she had help of her mother and father, just as the four men had the help of each other (“Chi-Hi Student Wins State Business Award” par. 1).
In her widely watched 2010 TED talk “Why We Have Too Few Women Leaders” (currently with more than 1.5 million views) Sheryl Sandberg, currently Chief Operating Officer of Facebook (and the first woman to serve on Facebook's board) and formerly Vice President at Google, shares her experience of being one of the rare women in top global management positions and offers advice to women who would like to succeed in their corporate careers. In the 15-minute video, Sandberg asks how we can fix the problem of having too few women in top leadership positions in spite of many advances in women’s rights being made. She argues that the solution lies with women themselves, as individuals, and the messages they need to tell themselves and their daughters. This entails three steps: (1) ‘sit at the table’, meaning women should negotiate for themselves more assertively and stop underestimating their abilities; (2) ‘make your partner a real partner’ and establish shared/equal responsibilities between partners at home (i.e. with raising children and housework); and (3) ‘don’t ‘leave’ before you leave’, which means continuing to work at the best of your abilities (i.e. ‘leaning in’ instead of ‘leaning back’ when the possibility of having a child is entertained) until
From one perspective, it might serve to raise the status and value of women in management but it additionally works in ways that add to women’s underestimation in management. In this manner ladies need to be more practical and important supporters of the senior management in development, not by doing low- paid work on essential jobs, pushing through the ‘glass walls’ to become leaders in their own particular
