HI everyone,

I just saw her promoting her products on QVC she's everywhere, how wonderful.

She is truly an inspiration to us all.

This is so freaky because I have heard Sara's story but not the whole thing. Like Sara I too flunked the LSAT and I am now on my third try. God willing third time is the charm and if this is not where I am supposed to be, then I'll try my hand at business. I have had the enterprenuerial spirit as a child as well. It's like she is telling my story. In middle school and high school I used my candy like fruit roll ups and sodas from the dollar store and up sell them to classmates. I made bath salts and went door to door selling that too, until my father put a stop to that. I just can't seem to let go of my dream of being a lawyer. That is what I have always wanted to be and letting go of that would be hard. But I find myself more and more filling pages with ideas for startups that just pop into my head. I'd like to pursue them, but fear is a factor. I'm learning to be fearless now and Sara's story is definitely and inspiration. Necessity has two children: invention and enterprenuership.
