Some people have the Midas touch. Sophia Amoruso is one of them. She started her first business, a tiny ebay store, when she was broke and scrounging in dumpsters for her next meal. Despite all the odds, it rapidly became a $100 million dollar global brand, while Sophia herself became a fashion icon, a New York Times bestselling author, and an entrepreneurial superstar.So how do you go from dumpster diving to founding one of the fastest-growing retailers in the world? How does a broke outsider become one of the most sought-after and respected entrepreneurs on the planet? And what lessons are there from this wild journey that can help all of us follow our true path, ignore the naysayers, and pave our own way to unbridled success?In this inspiring conversation, Sophia reveals all. If you have your own business, if you’re dreaming of starting one, or if you simply want the courage to follow your own path, this episode is going to knock your socks off. Press play to learn: how to build an iconic global brand, why success has nothing to do with how popular you were at high school, the critical importance of assembling an A-team of people to support you, her hardwon tips for finding and hiring the right people, how having a mentor can radically accelerate your success (and where to find one), the surprising technique she swears by for overcoming her inner critic, and why it’s okay to break the rules when you’re building a business.Head to www.melissaambrosini.com/503 for the show notes.Join my newsletter: www.melissaambrosini.com/newsletterFollow me on Instagram: @melissaambrosini Hosted on Acast.
