More quotes by Sara Blakely
Failure is not attached to outcome, but in not trying. This way, it is about answering to yourself.
Sara Blakely
You’ve got to visualize where you’re headed and be very clear about it. Take a polaroid picture of where you’re going to be in a few years.

Embrace what you don`t know
Sara Blakely
Instead of failure being the outcome, failure became not trying. And it forced me at a young age to want to push myself so much further out of my comfort zone.

Ensure that you do things differently from everyone else
Sara Blakely
Don't be intimidated by what you don't know. That can be your greatest strength and ensure that you do things differently from everyone else.
Sara Blakely
Don't solicit feedback on your product, idea or your business just for validation purposes. You want to tell the people who can help move your idea forward, but if you're just looking to your friend, co-worker, husband or wife for validation, be careful. It can stop a lot of multimillion-dollar ideas in their tracks in the beginning.
Sara Blakely
Don't let what you don't know scare you, because it can become your greatest asset.

My husband is such a healthy eater. Except when it comes to sweets. He never consumes anything except fruit until noon. And then from noon on he might have some brown rice and some tofu, and then, come eight or nine at night, he orders three mud-pie double-chocolate pieces of cake and eats all three of them.

When I was 7, I came up with the idea of 'charm socks.' My mom would take me to buy bags of plastic charms, we would sew them on frilly white socks, and I sold them at school.

I feel like money makes you more of who you already are.
Sara Blakely
Within the first year of launching my company, Spanx, I decided to go over to England and cold-call Harrods, Harvey Nichols, and Selfridges the same way I had cold-called Neiman Marcus, Saks, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdale's here in the United States.
Sara Blakely
Having a mental snapshot of where you are, where you are going, and what you are moving toward is incredibly powerful.
Sara Blakely
I didn't want women to walk out of the dressing rooms feeling depressed and wanting a cocktail.
Sara Blakely
Money is fun to make, fun to spend and fun to give away.
Sara Blakely
You’ve got to embrace what you don’t know.
Sara Blakely
Failures are life's way of nudging you and letting you know you are off course. Trying new things and not being afraid to fail along the way are more important than what you learn in school.
