Sarah Blakely @ Spanx - Connect to the product

Sarah Blakely, the founder of Spanx, recalls how she was approached by investors early on, questioning her exit strategy, despite her lack of business experience. She reflects on her unwavering belief in the product, which kept her connected and focused. Blakely's profound dedication and visualization of her business idea overshadowed her uncertainties about her lack of funds or formal education in business. The self-made billionaire finds it surreal to be labeled as such, drawing a parallel to picking magazine covers in middle school. Spanx, the company she founded, has thrived over 15 years without going public.
