It's really a full-time job to manage our lives.

Failure is not the outcome - failure is not trying. Don't be afraid to fail.

The word 'Spanx' was funny. It made people laugh. No one ever forgot it.

You’ve got to embrace what you don’t know.

When something I can't control happens, I ask myself : where is the hidden gift, where is the positive in this?

I'd get kicked out of buildings all day long, people would rip up my business card in my face. It's a humbling business to be in. But I knew I could sell and I knew I wanted to sell something I had created. I cut the feet out of those pantyhose and I knew I was on to something. This was it.

With every obstacle that has happened to me in my life, my brain immediately says, ‘Where is the hidden blessing?’ In starting a business and growing a business, every day is learning how to manage obstacles.
