In our family, being powerful means you never, ever apologize for being a woman.

Real guts are nothing more than developing your inner voice to the point where it is louder and stronger than the voice of your fear.

A man who isn't generous with his money isn't generous with his love and affection.

Fear of failure and fear of the unknown are always defeated by faith. Having faith in yourself, in the process of change, and in the new direction that change sets will reveal your own inner core of steel.

Swallowing your pride isn't lethal. It might upset your stomach for a few minutes, but the ultimate result may be the life of your dreams. And that's a result that's worth every rejection you encounter.

You run a major risk when you assume that you alone have all the answers: You don't, and that's okay. You don't have to be afraid to admit there are certain things you either don't like to do or aren't any good at. You reach a goal by covering all your bases, and you cover all your bases by hiring good people.

Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.
