How you present yourself is nobody’s business but your own. The stylists have an opinion. The hair people have an opinion. The fans and the management have opinions. Ultimately, you have to trust that you are the safe-keeper of yourself.
In student government in high school, I learned how to deal with people, and in college I studied Eastern philosophy. I’m also an avid team-sports fan.

Imagine if the pension funds and endowments that own much of the equity in our financial services companies demanded that those companies revisit the way mortgages were marketed to those without adequate skills to understand the products they were being sold. Management would have to change the way things were done.
I would have never wanted to write another management book. There are so many of them, and everybody says the same thing about them, and they are all the same – they give the exact same advice.

Suning from a management concept and technology point of view isn’t simply an appliance company.

I’ve worked since it was basically legal to work. I was a waitress on and off for eight years. I worked at Sears; I worked at Abercrombie folding clothes. My dad really instilled good money management habits, and I’ve saved 10 percent of my paycheck, every paycheck, since I was 15.

Being home schooled is awesome because you can make your own schedule, so as far as time management, it’s up to you how much you get done and when you get it done. It’s all got to get done; how you do it is up to you. You need a lot of self-discipline, but luckily, I have it.
I don’t get to see my kids at home, so I invite them on the sets… time management has become a very big problem.
