How did Sara Blakely overcome rejection to start Spanx?
Life has a weird way of giving you these experiences because when I started Spanx, the combination of the amount of rejection I had had was perfect to start a company because I was told no every day for two years. The idea is no good. No, thank you. We don't want to help you. We think this is stupid, whatever. And it didn't really faze me. And then the writing comedy for two years while I was doing that helped me do all the writing for Spanx and the marketing. And Spanx didn't advertise for 16 years. We became a household name and a household brand around the world without ever advertising.
Come on this journey with me. Each week when you join me, we are going to change Tell me, have you been enjoying these new bonus confidence classics episodes we've been dropping on you every week? We've literally hundreds of episodes for you to listen to. So these bonuses are a great way to help you find the ones you may have already missed. I hope you love this one as much as I do.
Welcome back to Creating Confidence. I'm so excited you're back here with me. Thank you for making it this week. And you are going. to flip about this episode. I am so grateful to everyone at Hypergrowth for giving me the opportunity to share this interview with you. It is the interview of a lifetime, and I'm so excited for you to hear it. Can't wait to hear what you think. So this week is a really big week for me. Saturday, I am giving my first TED Talk And it's interesting because I'm learning so much about TED Talks because all I do now is obsess over watching every TED Talk in the world and reading about TED Talks to really immerse myself and figure out if there's any tips or tricks on how to make it better.
to connect with the audience and to get this thing to go viral. So I'm really all in on this TED Talk. And the challenge is you only get 10 minutes. And I always thought TED Talks were 18 minutes, but apparently you get whatever you are given by the TED board that you're working with. And for the TED Talks that we're doing in Boca Raton, TEDx, it is 10 minutes. So It's tough to tell a story, share an idea, and be concise enough in 10 minutes. It's a lot to accomplish. So I'm hoping that I was able to do just that. And I am going big or going home as always. So I'm really trying to focus just on the TED Talk right now, which is crazy because this week is, there's a lot going on. I'm actually giving a speech on Wednesday at a media company.
On Thursday, I'm flying to New York to support the book launch of a good friend of mine, Standing O Encore. I actually wrote the foreword for the book. So I'm flying to New York for that. And then I'm heading Friday to the Boca Raton TEDx event. VIP sponsor party, which all the speakers have to attend. And we do some media as well as be there to support the actual event.
