I Knew That I Wanted

Everything About My Journey To Get Spanx Off The Ground Entailed Me Having To Be A Salesperson - From Going To The Hosiery Mills To Get A Prototype Made To Calling Saks Fifth Avenue And Neiman Marcus. I Had To Position Myself To Get Five Minutes In The Door With Buyers.

I've Always Leaned Toward A Feminine, Funky Style, Even In Business Settings. I Used To Paint My Nails Blue In 1993, Before It Was Mainstream.

Don't Be Intimidated By What You Don't Know.

I Always Joke And Say I Want To Invent A Comfortable Stiletto And Then Retire.

I Knew That I Wanted To Start My Own Business. I Knew That I Wanted To Work For Myself. I Was No Stranger To The Word No. You Just Have To Keep Going.
