My Revenue Was $4 Million My First

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.

My Husband Is Such A Healthy Eater. Except When It Comes To Sweets. He Never Consumes Anything Except Fruit Until Noon. And Then From Noon On He Might Have Some Brown Rice And Some Tofu, And Then, Come Eight Or Nine At Night, He Orders Three Mud-pie Double-chocolate Pieces Of Cake And Eats All Three Of Them.

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.

There Is A Hidden Blessing In The Most Traumatic Things We Go Through In Our Lives. My Brain Always Goes To, 'where Is The Hidden Blessing? What Is My Gift?'

When I Was Growing Up, My Dad Would Encourage My Brother And I To Fail. We Would Be Sitting At The Dinner Table And He Would Ask, 'so What Did You Guys Fail At This Week?' If We Didn't Have Something To Contribute, He Would Be Disappointed. When I Did Fail At Something, He'd High-five Me. What I Didn't Realize At The Time Was That He Was Completely Reframing My Definition Of Failure At A Young Age. To Me, Failure Means Not Trying; Failure Isn't The Outcome. If I Have To Look At Myself In The Mirror And Say, 'i Didn't Try That Because I Was Scared,' That Is Failure.
