When I was 7, I came up with the idea of charm socks. My mom would take me to buy bags of plastic charms, we would sew them on frilly white socks, and I sold them at school. – 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
