Everything I need to know in business I learned from Jane Austen

The Frugal Duchess recently wrote about how Jane Austen's characters inspired some of her "smart career moves" and made her a better businesswoman. For example:

As an English major, I learned to write effective papers and to analyze texts. What's more, I learned to keep an open mind, which led me to ultimately pursue lessons about investments, real estate and wealth management. Money, I realized, plays a major role in every Jane Austen novel.

It's a thought-provoking post that will make you examine how you can apply the lessons of Austen's heroines to your own life.
