Unlock Opportunities in Operations - No Degree Needed! with Diana Spencer (DF#83)

Today our guest is Diana Spencer, and we go over everything that you need to know in order to transition your career into operations. We talk about what operation is and how to make your transition into that field if you're not already in it.  We talk about how she initially got into operations as a bookkeeper and how she initially got the job by lying on her resume and learning quickly how to do the job and becoming really proficient at it. ----- Diana has had over a decade of experience working in Operations. Starting as a bookkeeper at age 18, Diana quickly and quite successfully rose within each company she's been employed with. She contributes her success to nothing more than strategy and the willingness to learn.  "If you play the game of business and play it right, you can move into any position that interests you. Decide what you want, then define vividly what you need to do to get it. Then EXECUTE! Just get in and get started."   Diana believes that all opportunities are in front of us (those without a degree) and we just need to take them.  "Pick up a book, join networking events on - there are no excuses, it can be done virtually on LinkedIn. Surround yourself with everyone you can learn from and ask questions. Moving to a position of running companies with 50-100 employees - I drool over employees that want to learn. They are few and far between. Be the few and your competition WILL shrink."
