Don't Let What You Don't Know Scare

I Knew That I Wanted To Start My Own Business. I Knew That I Wanted To Work For Myself. I Was No Stranger To The Word No. You Just Have To Keep Going.

I Shopped For Body Shapers For The First Time In My Life And I Was Horrified. They Were Thick - It Was Like Wearing Workout Clothes And They All Had A Leg Band On One Side That Showed Through The Pants.

Everything About My Journey To Get Spanx Off The Ground Entailed Me Having To Be A Salesperson - From Going To The Hosiery Mills To Get A Prototype Made To Calling Saks Fifth Avenue And Neiman Marcus. I Had To Position Myself To Get Five Minutes In The Door With Buyers.

The Thought Of My Mortality - I Think About It A Lot. I Find It Motivating. It Can Be Any Time That Your Number's Up.

Whatever You Can Think, You Can Create; Just Have A Very Clear Vision... Once You Have Your Snapshot, Work On Filling In The Blanks To Get To That Place.
