Out of discomfort comes greatness.

I had a high-flying career. Never wanted to get married. All I wanted to do was have some fun.

I design my start-up ventures around my own personal beliefs and values.

Fear of what other people will think is the single most paralyzing dynamic in business and in life. The best moment of my lifewas the day I realized that I know longer give a damn what anybody thinks. That's enormously liberating and freeing, and it's the only way to live your life and do your business.

I realized relatively early on that I had no desire to be a mother whatsoever. I actually love children, but specifically other people's.

Anyone who has worked with me knows that I am extremely action-oriented. I'm all about making things happen.

I have a low tolerance for people who complain about things but never do anything to change them. This led me to conclude that the single largest pool of untapped natural resources in this world is human good intentions that are never translated into actions.
