She Made A Billion $ Doing These 5 Things #shorts

These five things from Sarah Blakely are the best hacks I've seen from a founder to build a billion dollar company but start from nothing. Sarah built Spanx from $5,000 to a billion dollar empire. She taught herself to write a patent to save 3k the lawyers would have charged to do it. Instead she cold called Mills around the US and got no response. So drove door to door to pitch her idea until a farmer ran the idea by his daughters so said they'd love it and thus would produce it. She gets production up and ready and was ready to sell to stores in the meeting room. They didn't like the design, so Sarah blurted out, will you please try it on? Then she tried it on first, showed it off and then had the others try it on as well. She obsessed on getting one big store, in this case Neiman Marcus. Once she did that, she just went into all the others and said they got it. Do you want it? Her biggest breakthrough was she spent all the ways she could think of to get placed on a list of Oprah's favorite products. That helped her drive 10 million in total sales in 2000. Now she's got that billionaire.
