I never learned management. I never went to business school. I'm an artist. I happened to have really clear ideas of what I thought my business should be.

I wasn't a businesswoman, so I didn't know how to build a career.

I never went to business school. I was just bumbling through a lot of my life. I was like the guy behind the curtain in The Wizard of Oz.

We mislead ourselves when we pretend we can make someone into an effective manager by putting them through a few courses in business school.

If I look myself as a manager, I have lot more to learn.

I got even with all the bad management I had by being a good manager.

I learned to take the first job that you have in the business that you want to get into. It doesn't matter what that job is, you get your foot in the door.

I didn't have a business degree. I didn't have experience to work in somebody else's office. I never built or ran a department. So I was on this journey, and when the time came to make a decision, I was just going with my gut.

Had I pursued my education long enough to learn all the conventional dos and don'ts of starting a business, I often wonder how different my life and career might have been.

I learned hard lessons, and I've taken that lesson and it's helped me become a better business person and a better leader.
