Here’s the thing about rejection ⬇️
Your dream only stops when you do.
One of the best examples of persistence is the story of Melanie Perkins, Co-Founder and CEO of Canva.
Consider how many “no’s” it takes to discourage you from pursuing something you believe in.
Now, imagine facing 100 “no’s” – would your belief in your dream remain unshaken? 🤔
If you want to withstand the test of rejection in business (which, by the way, is inevitable!), you MUST have an unwavering belief in both your idea and your ability to bring it to life.
Thanks to Melanie’s tenacity, we all get to experience the brilliance of @canva! 👏🏻
Who else is inspired by this display of self-belief? ✋🏻⬇️

⏮️ Throwback to the solar eclipse of 2017 🌒
It was a perfect day in Sun Valley without a cloud in the sky, and we were lucky to be in the path of totality. I remember everything getting very quiet and cool – almost chilly – on this hot August day. It became progressively dark and as the sun slipped behind the moon entirely, a cheer erupted from a neighboring watch party, echoing across the valley. It was a magical and awe inspiring event.
Who is excited to watch today? ✋🏻
Ps: why do eclipse glasses have to be so goofy looking?

Let’s talk style in business… 👇🏻
It’s no secret that when you feel confident in what you’re wearing, that confidence shines through in everything you do.
Take, for instance, my red power suit on @sharktankabc. 👠🦈
Not only did the red suit make me feel powerful, but it also became a part of my personal brand. It’s now synonymous with my time on Shark Tank, instantly recognizable and iconic.
Now, fast forward to this past week ⏩
Packing for a week in Houston filled with restaurant opening events, TV appearances, and speaking engagements was no small feat. So I opted for a series of separates that were both chic and practical!
When I’m working at the restaurant, comfort is key. Feeling confident in my clothes means feeling comfortable in them, especially since I need to be able to move freely.
What staple pieces in your wardrobe make you feel like a boss? 😍💪🏻

FAILURE is the foundation of success. ❤️
In order to succeed as an entrepreneur, an investor and a business owner, I first had to fail.
I failed at my first career, getting laid off from my steady job and feeling completely lost.
I then failed countless times over as I learned the ins and outs of business with Sprinkles Cupcakes, struggling with things like staffing, systems and inventory…
But can you imagine if I had let these “failures” hold me back from all the success that was yet to come? If I had let the FEAR of failure stop me from even trying?
If you’re not going for your dreams because you’re afraid of failing, remember that failing isn’t something to be ashamed of. Failure is proof that you had the courage to go for it in the first place!
Who else agrees? Tell me about how fear of failure has shown up in your life 👇🏻

How to start your dream business when you have little-to-no startup money 👇🏻
I get it. Everyone’s talking about starting a business, and you have a passion you REALLY want to turn into a business, but nobody’s telling you how to do it when you’re strapped for cash.
I’m not going to lie and say it’s easy, or that it’s the same path for everyone.
BUT, I will give you the steps to take if you’re serious about starting your dream business and don’t want a lack of $$$ to stand in your way….
👉🏻 Take stock of what you’ve got. This goes beyond just money! Think about: the skills, resources, tools, and people at your disposal. Everybody has *something* – whether you believe it or not – that can give them a competitive advantage.
👉🏻 Bootstrapping. In order to launch your business with the money you have now, plus any money you can earn through side-hustling, you must be three things: resourceful, cost-effective, and creative.
👉🏻 Minimum Viable Product. This term “MVP” means creating the simplest version of your product, not the perfected version, in order to get your foot in the door and launch faster.
Take these steps, embrace your resources, and stay determined. You got this!

Thrilled to announce my feature in Inc. Magazine! 🌟 @incmagazine
This piece holds a special place in my heart for a couple of reasons:
1) Writing is a passion that truly came alive for me while crafting my book Sweet Success. It’s been a journey of honing my skills and now, writing has become a regular practice, from this byline to my weekly Sweet Success Newsletter.
2) I wanted to share my journey of personal brand evolution. This feature dives into the challenges of building a brand around a passion, and how that passion can evolve over time. It’s a reflection of my transition from Mrs. Sprinkles to a seasoned entrepreneur and investor.
👉🏻 Have you ever felt confined by YOUR personal brand before? Comment below and tell me about how you were able to evolve your image!
