Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Parents:

    You should marry someone rich because I wasn't cut out to make it on my own.

  • How I responded:

    I was a rebel and part of the reason I'm successful is because that feedback was so negative and I wanted to prove them wrong. I also knew I was smart enough to be successful and looked inwardly for the strength to continue moving forward.
