I Think Very Early On In Life

My Revenue Was $4 Million My First Year In Business, Off Of One $20 Item.

My Dad Encouraged Us To Fail. Growing Up, He Would Ask Us What We Failed At That Week. If We Didn't Have Something, He Would Be Disappointed. It Changed My Mindset At An Early Age That Failure Is Not The Outcome, Failure Is Not Trying. Don't Be Afraid To Fail.

Within The First Year Of Launching My Company, Spanx, I Decided To Go Over To England And Cold-call Harrods, Harvey Nichols, And Selfridges The Same Way I Had Cold-called Neiman Marcus, Saks, Nordstrom, And Bloomingdale's Here In The United States.

The Smartest Thing I Ever Did Was To Hire My Weakness.

I Pledge To Invest In Women Because I Believe It Offers One Of The Greatest Returns On Investment. I Am Committed To The Belief That We Would All Be In A Much Better Place If Half The Human Race (women) Were Empowered To Prosper, Invent, Be Educated, Start Their Own Businesses, Run For Office Essentially Be Given The Chance To Soar.
