She was too short to play Goofy. Then she invented Spanx. Now she's a billionaire
This is an amazing story of someone who never stopped believing. Sara Blakely was taught ever since she was a kid that you have to get so many no's before you get a yes. This was very true in her case. She wanted to be a Lawyer, but was a terrible test taker. She pretty much bombed her LSAT... So, her plan b was to go audition for the character Goofy at disney. She was to short. Nothing seemed to be going her way. Until, she decided to step out on her own and create Spanx. It sky rocketed. She has made billions off it.
This story truly shows how each and everyone of us should live our lives on the daily. Never settle for the "ok". Always keep pushing towards something further. Failure is a good thing. You aren't always going to get yes as an answer. I found this very inspiring.
This is such an inspiring story and is great to keep in mind when trying to achieve your dreams.
