The big thing for me is, I never think about myself as a female in business. I'm a person in business.

Dear optimist, pessimist, and realist--while you guys were busy arguing about the glass of wine, I drank it! Sincerely, the opportunist!

Entrepreneurship is the way we take control of our lives in a tough economy.

I prefer to like the people I invest in, but it's not an absolute necessity, as long as they have a good mind and I know they'll do whatever it takes to be successful.

You can make anything happen if you put your mind to it.

I learned that nobody's better than you to get your business off the ground. The experience you get is priceless.

I like helping people.
