I Knew That I Wanted To Start

Perseverance Is The Key To Starting A Successful Business.

Where I Get My Energy Is: 'how Can I Make It Better'?

The Word 'spanx' Was Funny. It Made People Laugh. No One Ever Forgot It.

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'd Get Kicked Out Of Buildings All Day Long, People Would Rip Up My Business Card In My Face. It's A Humbling Business To Be In. But I Knew I Could Sell And I Knew I Wanted To Sell Something I Had Created. I Cut The Feet Out Of Those Pantyhose And I Knew I Was On To Something. This Was It.
