The worst that could happen is I lose my company and go back to being a waitress. I don't think money's a great aspiration for a lot of people that succeed. They they have other motivations that turn them on. And money was not one of mine.

The difference between successful people and others is how long they spend time feeling sorry for themselves.

Don't you dare underestimate the power of your own instinct.

You may not like the idea of putting money into a home when you're moving out. But it's demanded by the market. You need to show it off. You don't have to rip out the kitchen and bathroom. But maybe replace the tiles or the countertops. Get professional advice.

Every single thing I learned about marketing and building my business, I learned from my mom, and she had never been in the workforce. She just had great practical sense.

If you get labeled a winner, people come along for the ride. Might as well enjoy it and they should too.

The best time to expand is when people are asleep at the wheel.
