Businesswomen From The United States

"Understand why you are doing everything that you do. When you are purpose-driven, it is not about the to-do list, It is about achieving a bigger thing that can get ten things out of the way. It’s about deciding if this thing that you are doing is taking you a step into your purpose or away from it and if it is taking me away from it, then why am I bothering with it."

"People from Oaxaca have a very specific relationship to food where food is your life. Everything surrounds food. Family, celebration, death, everything has to do with food"

"[Guelaguetza] is our home and we serve the food that we grew up with. It’s not fancy food. It’s not fusion food. It’s not new Californian food. It’s not new Mexican food. It’s not innovative. It’s just traditional food that I grew up eating, just very high quality. So, that’s how the menu of the restaurant was inspired. Just foods that we grew up eating off the road [in Oaxaca]. Everything you find here at the restaurant is what you can find in Oaxaca"

"ability and can also be so nurturing. You need to understand that what you have is very powerful. As a woman you are ahead of every man that you meet. So you need to understand that it’s a plus. You need to learn how to navigate your womanhood and take advantage of it and earn people’s trust. I can’t give you that.’"

"Investors need to know that you are well informed about the product you’re pitching. Know your numbers when presenting, what has been your ROI thus far? How much do you need to carry out your next endeavor? Get investors who not only give money but also invest time into your project."

"Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you. You do not always want to be the one with the best ideas in the room."

"It’s important that you find investors that fall in line with your business interests. Choose one revenue model that you want to focus on, state what you want clearly and simply."

"When [Musk] and I first spoke of his vision for X, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime to carry out the extraordinary mission of this company.

"So if you are somebody who is not afraid of risk and you love the creative process, it's great," she said. "Why would you not do it?"

"I believe it is important for people who have enjoyed success and achievement to give back and think about who’s coming next," she says. "How do we help them? This has been a cornerstone of my life all along and throughout my career, and it still is."

"I made multiple leaps where there were no guarantees that I was going to be successful, By the way, I was not always successful. But I think if you go into something new with an open mind, and you let people around you know what you don't know, for the most part they're going to link arms with you."

"It’s crazy that we’re so immune to those deaths,I thought self-driving cars would be a way to save lives proactively, and I also see self-driving cars as the world’s first mass-scale robot, and that’s going to come with a lot of challenges."

"What I always found so amazing about fashion is just this idea that you could kind of create whatever persona you wanted to be. It feels amazing to put on a business suit.

They just know who you are in that, what you're projecting.”"

"I'm not a city person but I like the convenience of it. I lived in London for seven or eight years, which was amazing. London has quite a good balance of life; there's lots of greenery.

"Originally I hired a tiny little car and drove around. I just drove through Italy knocking on doors. Then we grew up and suppliers came recommended to us, which was a nice moment in time. Even then I was going back and forth to Italy every other week. I got to a point where most Italian immigration officers didn't even check my passport anymore, just ‘Oh, you’re back again’ and I strolled on through.”"

"Italian manufacturers are very specialised and so we get recommendations for new craftsmen from our current factories. Nurturing this relationship is one of the most vital parts of our business. We work with partners - you spend a lot of time with these people and you're heavily dependent on them. It’s important to me that they're nice people, that you can consider them your family. Trust is key.”"

"I don't see myself as a fashion person, and it's not something I really identify with because I've just never thought of myself as one of those girls. Growing up on a farm, among the plants and the horses, nobody cares what you look like. What kind of work you're gonna put in. Are you a nice person? Are you responsible? Do the horses trust you? OK, great.”"

"“I would rather know where the cow came from, that we raised it, that it has one bad day. Just as I would rather grow my own vegetables than buy them from a store. Same goes with manufacturing.

I'm really weird and geeky about this.”"

That's the way that we learn. We learn by making mistakes."

"If you genuinely want to have a multifaceted career that takes you into multiple industries, then I think you have to be willing to fail."

It made me realize that everything at Hopkins is very human-centric, and people were very front and center. It was mission-focused."

"Trends are quite organic - everyone seems to migrate together. If we’ve done a pointed toe for three seasons, I just want something fresh. Then you look at everybody else's line and you're like, “Oh”. I guess everyone's brain tries to do the opposite at the same time. Everyone's trying to be different and I'm the same.”"

"It’s such an important subject for any age,Everyone in life experiences failure, and this book is about how to strategize getting unstuck. Some people may even view Drive.ai being acquired by Apple last year as a failure instead of it becoming the next stand-alone billion- dollar company. I see it as an opportunity for my next company to get there.”"

"Out of all my projects, this is the research area that’s resonated the most with people, I think everyone is interested in the arts and creativity, and how AI and technology will impact it for the future. Like how the computer enhances the way people work, I’m hoping AI technology can enhance how artists work, freeing them up to be more creative."

"“I find it’s important to lead by example. I work to ensure my team develops a combination of trusting their own vision and approach, and is able to articulate and execute their decisions. That is the pattern I try to follow. I try to role model the qualities I expect in others. I try to communicate to my teams that my expectations from them are no different than the expectations from myself. If my teams see me practicing those values and demonstrating those when working across different divisions as well as with clients, that will help foster empowerment, collaboration and encourage inclusiveness"
