Success doesn't happen overnight. Keep your eye on the prize and don't look back.

I think the biggest thing to do - especially if you're a woman trying to succeed in a male-dominated industry - is to just study as much you can and get ready for negativity, backlash, and comments. There's going to be a ton of it.

Despite what I do for a living, I am very insecure about my body.

I'm somebody that has a very big competitive edge and a chip on my shoulder.

Whether I'm on the road or off the road it's really important for me mentally and physically. Physically, when I'm on the road, I work with men that love to eat - I work with former athletes, with men who love to indulge on the road, so I eat like a guy. I have four appetizers, I try their entrees, I eat mine, I like dessert. So I have to make sure that physically, I try to stay in shape. I'm always doing some sort of a workout, and then mentally it just helps a lot with the stress.

Admitting your weaknesses does not diminish your strengths: it shows your courage.

I try to stay in shape just to handle things like the stress of a job or everyday life.
