Past success is no guarantee of future success, so I have learned to be an entrepreneur. I began to produce and direct my own projects.

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

I learned how to be a learner. When you get in a job, the tendency is to say, 'I've got to know it. I've got to give direction to others. I'm in this job because I'm better and smarter.' I always took a different view, that the key was to identify the people who really knew and learn from them.

I go by intuition. Work-wise, that means asking myself if a role will push me outside my comfort zone, challenge me to learn something new.

I learned that you can be successful if you get people to help you become successful.

I always had this desire to be an entrepreneur, except I felt I didn't really know what I was doing.

I think running a business, doing what I've done for the last - since 1996, has taught me so many things because I started from just an idea and then had to figure out how to make it, market it, every single thing from soup to nuts on how to get a product done and out there.

I have learned to pare down what I do and still be effective and strong in a role.
