The Important Thing Is Not Being Afraid

When You're Taking Care Of The Customer, You Can Never Do Too Much. And There Is No Wrong Way... If It Comes From The Heart.

What Really Fueled Me, And Maybe Infuriated Me, Is That Nobody Believed In Me. Nobody. I Don't Even Think I Believe In Myself. Part Of What I Was Trying To Do Was To Make The Decision To Go Into Business And Find The Guts To See It Through. I Was Told That When I Went In To See The Bankers That I Was Supposed To Be Very Muted, That I Was Supposed To Blend In, That I Was Supposed To Have The Typical Drab Suit On.

Number One, I Absolutely Love Making Chocolate Chip Cookies. I Mean, It's Fun. It's Exciting. Beyond The Fact That I Love Making Them, I Love Eating Them.

We Are Here For A Reason. We All Have A Gift Or Gifts To Share. You Want To Look Inside Your Heart And Your Soul, And You Want To Tap Into The One Thing You Love To Do. Develop It. Share It. Nurture It. You Were Meant To Have That Gift.

Never Give Up. The Bankers And Financial People Did Not Take Me Seriously Initially. Everyone Thought I Would Fail. My Attitude Was That 'no' Is An Unacceptable Answer When It Comes To Financing.
