4 Entrepreneurial Lessons From the 2019 Golden Globes

2. Don’t give up on what is important to you.

Glenn Close took home the Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture -- Drama for her role in the Meg Wolitzer adaptation The Wife, about a woman married to a lauded author who sacrificed her own career as a writer.

“It took 14 years to make this film,” she said in her impassioned speech, which ended with an standing ovation from the crowd. “[My team said] this is a great story and we need to stay with it until it happens. It was called The Wife. I think that’s why it took 14 years to get made. … I feel what I’ve learned through this whole experience is women, we’re nurturers, that’s what’s expected of us … but we have to find personal fulfillment. We have to follow our dreams. We have to say I can do that, and I should be allowed to do that.”
