I often say my naivete early on in my career worked in my favor.
From Sophia Amoruso
I think many people go to business school and learn ways to play it safe, ensuring that they avoid some of the pain that entrepreneurs endure while taking less calculated risks.
The best wisdom is earned through experience, particularly mistakes.
Success is a scary concept because it assumes something kind of final. In the grand scheme of life, I don't think there is some ultimate success.
It's a lot of work to sell one thing on the Internet.
I've never worked in a retail store, but I did sell shoes at Gimme Shoes in San Francisco, a job I was fired from.
I think there are very few brands with a person's point of view behind them.
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.
I don't have a lot of style icons. There are not a lot of people today who I look to.
I don't read fashion blogs all that much. I do read magazines, and I trust my friends' opinions, even though we all dress very differently.
