“Successful people start with two core beliefs: the future can be better than the present, and I have the power to make it so.” — Vala Ashfar
Sara Blakely was selling fax machines door-to-door when she had the idea for Spanx. No fashion experience. No manufacturing connections. No business background. Just those two beliefs.
The future could be better than selling fax machines. And she had the power to make it better.
She kept both beliefs through two years of rejections from every manufacturer she pitched. Every reasonable person would’ve abandoned one. “The future can be better, I just don’t have the power.” Or “I have power, but this industry can’t actually change.”
She kept both. That’s why Spanx exists.
