I have an innate instinct for knowing what's going to work.

Hire prudently, go slow and don’t go overboard.

I think people don't like when you're not confident about what you're pitching, and they don't want to invest in you or get behind you.

In business it is most often all about getting your foot in the door and once you do, everything opens up and things start to naturally progress into bigger and more opportunities.

Entrepreneurs are willing to work 80 hours a week to avoid working 40 hours a week.

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

I always recommend, if you can, to patent or protect whatever your idea is. If you can't, you have to make your best judgment. Sometimes people don't get anywhere because they sit on something, so afraid to reveal it. And yet, in the reverse, sometimes if you expose something too widely, you can risk losing it.
