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

Failure to me became not trying versus not succeeding

I got a call from the Oprah Winfrey Show. Oprah had chosen Spanx as one of her favorite products in 2000. I had boxes of product in my apartment and I had two weeks notice that she was going to say she loved it on TV and I had no shipping department.

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.

What you don’t know can be your greatest asset.

I'd never worked in fashion or retail. I just needed an undergarment that didn't exist.
