1)     Identify the exit strategy you plan to make. Do you intend to sell your business in the next 5 years for a large return? Do you intend to stay with the business for several decades and retire?

During elections, we have preliminary the week before which I ended up winning. While this doesn’t directly represent the outcome, usually it is a good predictor. I spent the next week before elections confident in myself and did not campaign for the rest of it, while my competitor was rallying her sources behind the scenes. It ended up being a very heated election for many girls within the sorority, and after a long period of pros and cons I ended up losing. 2) I learned not to take anything for granted.

I also felt that I had a strong enough reputation within the sorority that it would carry me through it even though my supporters and friends were more soft spoken. 3) There is a reason democracy works.
