My first account was Neiman Marcus. I cold-called them just like I had cold-called businesses when I was selling fax machines for seven years.

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

I feel like money makes you more of who you already are.

When I was 7, I came up with the idea of 'charm socks.' My mom would take me to buy bags of plastic charms, we would sew them on frilly white socks, and I sold them at school.

Failure to me became not trying versus not succeeding

I pledge to invest in women because I believe it offers one of the greatest returns on investment.
