My advice for an entrepreneur just starting out is to differentiate yourself. Why are you different? What’s important about you? Why does the customer need you?

Shapewear is the canvas and the clothes are the art.

Don't solicit feedback on your product, idea or your business just for validation purposes. You want to tell the people who can help move your idea forward, but if you're just looking to your friend, co-worker, husband or wife for validation, be careful. It can stop a lot of multimillion-dollar ideas in their tracks in the beginning.

Most of the reason we don’t do things is because we’re afraid to fail. I just made a decision one day that I was not not going to do things in my life because of fear.

Money is fun to make, fun to spend and fun to give away.

I didn't want women to walk out of the dressing rooms feeling depressed and wanting a cocktail.

I think my story says that, when women are given the chance and the opportunity, that we can achieve a lot. We deliver.
