Failure is life at it's most poignant and it's only there to push you in the right direction.

What I know is, if you do work that you love, and work that fulfills you, the rest will come. I truly believe the reason I've been so financially successful is because my focus has never been on the money.

Back then, a few doilies and napkins were all that a lot of women had. In the little house where I grew up, the pillowcases my grandmother embroidered were the only things of beauty.

I still want what I've always wanted ... to be the best person I can be.

There is no doing in the world without being first.

If I lost control of the business I'd lose myself - or at least the ability to be myself. Owning myself is a way to be myself.

What I know for sure is that what you give comes back to you.
