Co-Founder
I co-founded a beauty company and a tequila maker.
Here's the first step for everyone
Instead of taking any job out of high school or college, try and find a job or industry that you think you might be passionate about. I had no experience in the beauty industry, but when the opportunity arose to work for a beauty company I took it—even though it was very little money—because I thought I could be passionate about it. I ended up becoming successful because of that passion. Once you find a job you're passionate about, do that job better than anyone else even when no one is looking.
