Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like.

My mom and my dad wanted my brother and I to have a better life you know better education better jobs. It was probably harder much much harder for my parents. When you're a kid you can learn a language much more easily I learned English in less than a year.

My mom used to tell me stories at night read books to me - and I read 'em over and over and over again. And you know what I learned from that? I went back and looked at everything - Why do I like reading the same stories over and over and over again? What was I some kind of nincompoop? No - the narrative gave me connection with my mom.

I've never had my brows done - I tweeze them myself. I used to watch my mom pluck her brows that's how I learned.

I know that I'm getting the real deal with my mom. I know that she's telling it like it is. She's proud of me when I've earned it and she's disappointed in me when I've earn that. She's really my spectrum on where I am as a person.

I've learned that every working mom is a superwoman.

My mom was a seamstress and I wish I'd learned to sew because I'm obsessed with 'Project Runway!'

In her whole life Mom never earned more than five or six dollars a week. Being without a husband it was hard for her to find any place at all for us to live.

Every single thing I learned about marketing and building my business I learned from my mom and she had never been in the workforce. She just had great practical sense.

My Mom said she learned how to swim when someone took her out in the lake and threw her off the boat. I said 'Mom they weren't trying to teach you how to swim.'
