When I decided to go to law school despite having two young  kids and no money, I was told I’d never make it. I did make it, and I made it Cum Laude.

When I started my business, I was told I’d never be able to build a J+ Franchise in NYC – nobody had been able to do that. I did build it, and it’s been going strong for over 16 years!

When I was first suggested as a Group Chair in Gotham … well, ask Fred about that one.

The thing is that success is more about what we say to ourselves than what others have to say. In fact, what other people think about our abilities is really none of our business. 

How much do you rely on the opinions of others?
