1. BE AN INNOVATIVE THINKER
“Being an entrepreneur isn’t just a job title, and it isn’t just about
starting a company. It’s a state of mind. It’s about seeing connections
others can’t, seizing opportunities others won’t, and forging new
directions that others haven’t.” - Tory Burch

2. BROADEN YOUR SKILLS
"Don't go to fast. People have
to go to school, learn their craft, and build a brand. That's the right
healthy way to do things. If you're an overnight sensation, you can be
yesterday's news in no time, whereas building something slowly and
carefully that has quality and value, that's what's going to have legs."
-Anna Wintour

3. BE PERSISTENT
“When young people eager to start their own lives and
careers ask me for advice I smile and always say: ‘Passion and persistence are
what matter. Dreams are achievable and you can make your fantasy come true, but
there are no shortcuts. Nothing happens without hard work. ” -Diane von Furstenberg

5. SILENCE NEGATIVITY
I made a conscious decsion not to tell anyone in my life. Now I tell people- don't tell anyone your idea until you have invested enough of yourself in it that you are not going to turn back. When a person has an idea at that conception moment it is the most vulnerable- one negative comment could knock you off course."

6. STAY HUMBLE
"Implementing a business idea is easy, but the emotional roller coaster of
building a team and building a culture is incredibly exhausting both in
positive and negative ways. You need to continue to listen to others,
be humble, and realize that you’re just at the beginning right now, and
it’s all about continuous learning."
7. WORK FOR OTHERS
"Don't be afraid to take time to learn. It's good to work for other people. I worked for others for 20 years. They paid me to learn."
-Vera Wang
8. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND YOUR VISION
“I think it’s such a female thing, we look at ourselves in the mirror
and we pick, pick, pick. First and foremost, you have to believe in
yourself and believe in what your business is about. They say beauty is
in the eye of the beholder, so let the beholder be you."
