I discovered incredible insight and inspiration from the 71-year-old supermodel and dietician who has lived through abuse, divorce, and poverty to emerge as a successful businessperson, author, and a role model to many. While there is some parenting advice from the mother of Elon, Kimbal, and Tosca Musk, A Woman Makes a Plan is so much more. “Instruction manual for how to raise super-successful, super-genius kids,” I told my husband, holding up the book.īut this is not a book on parenting, as I had hoped, although Maye’s Twitter followers are now asking her to write a parenting book as a follow-up. All you have to do is make a plan.On New Year’s Eve 2019, I snuggled on my couch to read A Woman Makes a Plan: Advice for a Lifetime of Adventure, Beauty, and Success by Maye Musk.Īs I sat in New York with my wine and my cat, Maye herself was at the Tesla factory in Fremont, California, helping her son Elon deliver Model 3s so the new owners could take advantage of the tax incentives disappearing in 2020. You can't control all that happens in life, but you can have the life you want at any age. In A Woman Makes a Plan, Maye shares experiences from her life conveying hard-earned wisdom on career (the harder you work, the luckier you get), family (let the people you love go their own way), health (there is no magic pill), and adventure (make room for discovery, but always be ready for anything). But she made her way through it all with an indomitable spirit and a no-nonsense attitude to become a global success at what she calls the "prime of her life."Īs the twenty- and thirtysomethings who follow her obsessively on social media know, Maye is a fount of frank and practical advice on how the choices you make in every decade can pay off in surprising, exciting ways throughout your life. But things were not always so easy or glamorous-she became a single mom at thirty-one years old, struggling through poverty to provide for her three children dealt with weight issues as a plus-size model and overcame ageism in the modeling industry and established a lifelong career as a respected dietitian, all the while starting over in eight different cities across three countries and two continents.
Maye Musk at seventy-one is a fashionable, charming, jet-setting supermodel with a fascinating and tight-knit circle of family and friends.
The international supermodel shares personal stories and lessons learned from a life of "living dangerously-carefully"
