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.

You know, Mrs. Fields was never a business. It was a part of me...and I never separated, oh, well, business from personal because to me they all blended together.

The easiest thing any of us can do is give up. It doesn't matter how many no's you go through.

I love to nurture, I love to help people. I love to brainstorm. I like to mentor.

The principle was right there - you couldn't miss it. The more we did for our customers, the more they did for us.

You do not have to be superhuman to do what you believe in.

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.
