01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Don't be discouraged by a no. You're gonna hear a hundred no's before you get a yes. Don't get discouraged, just keep going. Be true to yourself, have your confidence, build your confidence, never have to explain yourself to anyone. Learning when to move on, learning when a deal is dead.
