What do I want? How do I want to design this?’”“I have a mouth, I have a brand, and I have a platform. I need to use it for something far bigger than what I was doing just making women look great. Like, how do I make sure that her business is greater? How do I make sure she’s able to start a business or feel brave enough to ask for more if she works somewhere?”“You have to get really good at discerning, ‘Is this person giving me criticism so that I can change and improve? Or are they criticizing me to just make me feel bad?’ When you're getting criticism to improve, it's done from a place of help. Then, that's not scary. It still sucks, but you take a look in the mirror and say, ‘Oh, yeah, that might be right. OK, let me act on it quickly.’”“I never had burnout just starting out, making no money, and working all hours. I loved what I did so much. Anyone here who loved what they do so much. It didn’t matter. You weren’t burnt out. You were fueled by your own creation and your own momentum. How you get back to that takes some self-reflection to figure out.”Discussed on the Show: "Which movie villain" Quiz: jaclynmellone.com/quizMore about Rebecca:A global industry leader in accessible luxury handbags, accessories, footwear and apparel, Rebecca Minkoff’s modern bohemian designs are inspired by strong, confident and powerful women who embody the effortless, free-spirited lifestyle.In the Summer of 2018, Rebecca launched a podcast, Superwomen with Rebecca Minkoff.
