people cookies made
We knew we loved making cookies and every time we did, we made people happy. That was our business plan.
life change knowing
Because what nobody ever understood is that I, too, wanted to be a somebody. But how do you go through life wanting to be a someone and not knowing how?
business together fields
You know, Mrs. Fields was never a business. It was a part of me...and I never separated, oh, well, business from personal because to me they all blended together.
opportunity trying lucky
I try not to take for granted how lucky we are to have life and breath and opportunity. Once we've got that, we can conquer anything.
thinking half way
If you think you can, then you’re half way there. If you say, ‘I can’t,’ then you’re defeated.
business successful entrepreneur
Once you find something you love to do, be the best at doing it.
getting-high graduates priceless
Truly, I get high on oxygen, and once I graduate from that, what really fulfills me is doing what I love. That, to me, is absolutely priceless.
dream goal people
Too many people have a wonderful dream and just talk about it rather than do something about it.
home air giving
I use nothing but the best ingredients. My cookies are always baked fresh. I price cookies so that you cannot make them at home for any less. And I still give cookies away.
treasure digging enough
The trick is that you can't find the hidden treasure until you start digging. Often enough, if you take the leap and do something, something will happen. Probably not what you thought, but something.
love-is chocolate i-love-my-family
I love being in the moment. I love my family. I love chocolate. I love baking.
service-culture missing principles
The principle was right there - you couldn't miss it. The more we did for our customers, the more they did for us.
mediocrity wonder settling
Be great at what you do, and don't ever settle for mediocrity or else you will always wonder how great you could have been.
play two numbers
There is always competition. Whatever you do, there will be competition, and you have to decide how you’re going to play. For me, I had to be the very best. I had to be the very best. Because, if I was not the very best, I would end up being number two.
