I think the best piece of advice I have ever been given was say “yes” and then figure
it out. I have been given a lot of really awesome business advice, and I think the best
piece I’ve ever received was to always be true to yourself. One of the best pieces of
advice I’ve ever heard is fortune is on the follow-up. And it was super relevant to
me because if you’re not even following up, how are you going to continue the conversation.
There was a period of time where I just didn’t—I wasn’t in my fullness. I wasn’t wearing
my glasses and crazy head-wraps and was always holding back. And I started to actually see
more success in my business life too the more I became myself—the more I became true to
myself. I’ve done a lot and I’ve made a lot of mistakes, but you just have to do
it and take on the bad and the good as it comes. Make sure that whatever you’re doing in
business is representative of who you are and that you feel comfortable and that you
can stand behind your work. So much of what we’re doing right now in this new media,
we’re all figuring it out. So, just the ability to be flexible and try new things
and fail. Just say yes. Just try it.
