Im just like so many women – I was frustrated, I had these white pants that I had spent a lot of money on, and you get home and you think, What am I really supposed to wear under this? So it was a frustrated consumer moment. – Sara Blakely
I started thinking about joy. Everything in our society is so purposeful. Lets bring joy back to the experience. – 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
I failed the LSAT. Basically, if I had not failed, Id have been a lawyer and there would be no Spanx. I think failure is nothing more than lifes way of nudging you that you are off course. My attitude to failure is not attached to outcome, but in not trying. It is liberating. – Sara Blakely
