Weekend Inspiration: Don’t Stop at No

By Michelle Shaeffer | 5 Comments

Many times we fail as entrepreneurs not because our product or service isn’t great, but because we aren’t stepping out and selling ourselves. We’re stopping the first (or second, or third) time we hear “no.”

A quote I ran across this week that made me think was: “If you don’t sell, it’s not the product that’s wrong, it’s you.” ~Estee Lauder

Watch the video below to find out how Estee Lauder built a super-successful business and three important business lessons we can learn from her.

    Thank you for sharing Estee Lauder’s Story. I knew Mary Kay Ash’s story but Estee’s. We too are in the skin care business. We manufacture all-natural Goat’s Milk soaps and aromatherapy pamperings.
    We use sustainable organic resources and local growers/farmers for the ingredients. We started in our kitchen as well and now have a space in our basement. Here’s to the women entrepreneurs that changed the face of business in America.
