Forcing me to figure out how to provide for myself was probably one of the best things my parents ever did for me.
Create your own job. Become the master of what you do. Fully imerse yourself in your culter. Be humble. You are never above having to pack boxes. Never forget where you came from. And always be polite. Good old-fashioned manners can get you very far. -Jenne Lomardo.
You don’t get taken seriously by asking someone to take you seriously. You’ve got to show up and own it. If this is a man’s world, who cares? I’m still really glad to be a girl in it.
Money looks better in the bank than on your feet.
Its not about being included. It about creating your own space and including yourself and then finding other people that are like okay.
You don’t get what you don’t ask for.
It takes a special kind of stubbornness to succeed as an entrepreneur.
If you believe that what you’re doing will have positive results, it will – even if it’s not immediately obvious.
It just means that your talents lie elsewhere, so take the opportunity to seek out what you are good at, and find a place where you can flourish. Once you do, you’re going to kill it.
Dive headfirst into things without being too attached to the results.
You belong wherever you want to belong.
The world loves to tell you how difficult things are, and the world’s not exaggerating. But difficult doesn’t mean impossible, and out of the bajillions of things in this universe that you can’t control, what you can control is how hard you try, and if or when to pack it in.
Abandon anything about your life and habits that might be holding you back.
What do you do when you’re living in a hut for $500 a month and subsisting on Boston Market and Subway? You just keep doing what you’re doing.
I was OK before this, I will be OK after this.
The last thing the world needs is another boring person or another boring brand, so embrace all the things that make you different. Alter your clothes all you want, but don’t you dare alter your inner freak – she’s got your back as much as I do.
When you think about people, you give them power.
The only thing I smoke is my competition.
My philosophy is that you sell things for more than you bought them.
Knowing when to speak up and when to shut up will get you very far not only in business, but in life.
