My revenue was $4 million my first year in business, off of one $20 item. – Sara Blakely

Id get kicked out of buildings all day long, people would rip up my business card in my face. Its 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. – Sara Blakely
