I had 60,000 friends on MySpace.
As a visual person, I love a creative resume. Putting in a little effort on the design side will show that you care about making things look good.
I'm really good at hiring good people.
It's the beauty of the Web. You can pretend to be anything you want. But people figure out pretty quick if you don't live up to it.
Creativity and business acumen don't always go hand in hand.
I'm a capitalist, I'm a CEO, I run a big business, I'm an employer.
My parents taught me the value of money and working hard. And I kind of got that in me intuitively.
A lot of people in my generation don't seem to get that you have to work your way up. I don't care if filing invoices is beneath you. If you don't do it, who do you think is going to? Your boss? Nope. That's why she hired you.
I can show up at a Goldman Sachs conference wearing a Judas Priest T-shirt - and I have - while everyone else is wearing the same dress.
There's no 'Chutes and Ladders' in life.
A lot of young people who I employ expect a raise after three months or expect not to have to put in more work than what's in their job description.
I make money, and I don't need money.
My philosophy is that you sell things for more than you bought them.
Everyone does a style book, and I wanted to write a business book for people that didn't think they would like a business book.
The first thing I ever sold online was stolen.
Lots of people are going to sell clothes online. But not a lot of people have built a brand, a living, breathing brand that people feel like they're part of.
Nothing will teach you more about perceived value than taking something with literally no value and selling it in the auction format. It teaches you the beauty and power of presentation, and how you can make magic out of nothing.
The modern girl is less concerned with everything being a brand name.
I built a huge profitable business with no debt.
I've probably spent more time than any other brand reading every last comment. To listen to people the way you're able to online is very powerful.
