I have also made this a point in our company: We need to stop taking baby steps and start thinking globally. It really seems to be helping.

As long as you are going to be thinking anyway, think big.

I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.

Most people think small, because most people are afraid of success, afraid of making decisions, afraid of winning. And that gives people like me a great advantage.

Everybody has goals, aspirations or whatever, and everybody has been at a point in their life where nobody believed in them...But when I say I'm going to do something, I have to do it.

Stop being patient and start asking yourself, how do I accomplish my 10-year plan in 6 months? You will probably fail but you will be a lot further ahead of the person who simply accepted it was going to take 10 years.
