There is always competition. Whatever you do, there will be competition, and you have to decide how you’re going to play. For me, I had to be the very best. I had to be the very best. Because, if I was not the very best, I would end up being number two.

Debbi Fields
Be great at what you do, and don't ever settle for mediocrity or else you will always wonder how great you could have been.
Debbi Fields
It's never too late - not now, not ever - for you to pursue your passion.
Debbi Fields
There are people out there who want to say yes. That gave me confidence to keep asking.

I try not to take for granted how lucky we are to have life and breath and opportunity. Once we've got that, we can conquer anything.
Debbi Fields
I love to brainstorm. I like to mentor. When you're starting out, especially as an entrepreneur, you really don't know what you're doing. You go out there and you try so many things. The key in the process, to me, is that you keep trying and you never give up.
