There’s always a stigma attached to the word ‘ambition’ and women. I’ve embraced it. Ambition is NOT a four-letter word and women have to embrace that.

I would love to do special products for specific countries. As we go ahead and learn the territories, we're going to do exclusives for each area.

I've learned time management, organization and I have priorities.

I think women have a lack of confidence. They often apologize; I was guilty of that too. When people have said, "Oh, look at your success," I would downplay it.

Big businesses can help by engaging aspiring entrepreneurs and promoting initiatives which support small businesses from within.

One of the reasons I wanted to start a company is because I wanted an environment that I wanted to work in. I wanted people to be able to have a life - for it to be OK to leave for a lacrosse game or a doctor's appointment. So I think women do work differently; it's important to have both men and women. They offer different things.

It was ingrained in me to be gracious.
