I am a petite, 5’3 100 pd. female. I’ve read articles that height is important if you are in high level management positions because people take you more seriously. I am considering entering a career in marketing, public relations, sales or business management. Am I going to have a hard time getting respect and authority if I am short and petite? Is height more important for men in management positions? As long as I’m intelligent and assertive, should my height matter? Can short, petite women still be successful in these types of careers?

It is very important to set objectives. For example, if I wanted to lose 100 pounds….I start my diet and exercise program but say it a year, year and a half before I reach my goal, then it took me that long to accomplish anything. Mentally that could be a big setback for me. BUT if I decide that i’m only going to have 1 glass of sweet tea a day, or that I’ll walk 4 days a week, or lose ten pounds…i’m reaching smaller goals that will motivate to keep up the work. Also setting objective and having a plan allows you to see where you curruntly are, and realistically what you have to do to get where you want to be.

I also was wondering, since I don’t have the best writing and don’t want to carry normal piece of paper around with me and post everywhere, could I TYPE them in Microsoft Word and print them out in huge font? Thanks!!!
