I've been making products for so long, I have a gut feel for what is right - what will work and what won't. I can tell instantly if it's a hero or a zero.

I had a history for starting something and maybe getting halfway done. Then I’d see the same thing I was doing on the bestseller list! My ideas were right, but I hadn’t done them fast enough.

I think running a business, doing what I’ve done for the last – since 1996, has taught me so many things because I started from just an idea and then had to figure out how to make it, market it, every single thing from soup to nuts on how to get a product done and out there.

I’ve achieved a certain amount of success and now I’m thinking about the good things I can do.

I have an innate instinct for knowing what’s going to work.

I think people don’t like when you’re not confident about what you’re pitching, and they don’t want to invest in you or get behind you.

The big thing for me is, I never think about myself as a female in business. I’m a person in business.

Ive been making products for so long, I have a gut feel for what is right – what will work and what wont. I can tell instantly if its a hero or a zero.

I prefer to like the people I invest in, but it’s not an absolute necessity, as long as they have a good mind and I know they’ll do whatever it takes to be successful.

I roll out of bed in the morning, whenever I want, and I work right away because, to me, that’s the life. That’s freedom. The whole point for me is that I love the freedom of being an entrepreneur that I do what I want to do when I want to do it.
