Never take lightly that becoming an employer puts another person’s ability to provide for their life in your hands.

Because I started investing in wiserrelationships, I am now an absurdly wealthy woman—if blessings, fulfillment & joy are measured as wealth.

Most people like to talk about themselves, so get them going and you’ll make new friends quickly!

By not stepping into your greatness, you are letting down everyone around you whom you can inspire, touch, or influence.

I always say that my success has been three parts support and encouragement from my amazing network and one part piss and vinegar.

If you were stranded in the ocean in a small boat with a paddle, I’d tell you to pray to God, but row for the shore!

Determine how you are going to measure your success.

Remember, you are not aspiring for perfection, Bombshell. You are aspiring for progress, one step at a time.

Be sure to ask for help, and vent or brag on your progress along the way.

Do your best in the day, for the day, and then work on tomorrow when it comes. Show yourself grace and laugh at yourself.

Don’t be bothered with what you think other people expect of you when it comes to your raw talent.

Time doesn’t create change. The changes in your life will be in proportion to the decisions you make.

I don't care what problem you face

I feel like a nineteen forties teenager at a Frank Sinatra concert! (On finally being published)

Everyone had so much to say.

You don't have to do everything by the time you're 30. Or 40. All you need is a work ethic. It's what allows you to push through moments of disappointment and self-doubt and fear.

I remember telling a neurosurgeon, "Don't give me too much information, because at the moment my ignorance is my best asset."

I love Lady Gaga and I love Katy Perry and R&B and rap music... I love big, American pop music.

MC's they retreat cause they know I can beat 'em, And eat 'em in a battle and the ref won't cheat 'em. I'm the best takin' out all rookies, So forget Oreos...eat Cool J cookies.

Prejudice exists and probably will continue to 'but we have tried to make progress and we are making progress. We are not going to accept the status quo.'
