My parents were able to pay our expenses, but not for education. We were encouraged to work hard in school and get scholarships.
Every entrepreneur talks about the passion you have for your work, and I think that's what's missing with a lot of women in business.
I did not want the media attention currently surrounding me to distract from the important work of the NYSE, and thus I felt it was appropriate to resign,
to show what Martha Stewart Living was really all about to the broadest possible audience, the kind of executive that I really am and the kind of work we do.
This is what truly interests us, why we all come to work every day ... our passion is and always should be to make life better,
I know I have a very tough five months ahead of me, but I understand, too, that I will get through those months knowing that I have the ability to return to my productive and normal life, my interesting work and future business opportunities,
I'm used to all kinds of hard work, as you know. I'm not afraid whatsoever.
If you would be so kind to write such a letter, please include your opinion of my character, my work ethic, my integrity and my probity,
It's totally out of desire and totally out of belief that - not that I am essential, but that I am still a vibrant, wise human being with great dreams for the future, great hopes for the future, a great team to work with and a really great company to be involved with, ... I mean, this is my life.
I sat down once with the application for Match.com and started to laugh. I couldn't even get past the first page. And that's a very good site!
Without a sense of teamwork I think it's really hard to build a great business.
I think I've banned couches from the set.
I thought I was replacing The Donald. It was even discussed that I would be firing The Donald on the first show.
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I fell in a hole.
