I'm the person that literally in my heart and soul managed to go from Denny's

waitress to building on entrepreneur because I learned to believe in myself and believe I belong

in the room and an overcome rejection, overcome fear, but I am still a work in progress, right?

Welcome to the School of Greatness. My name is Lewis Howe's former pro athlete

turned lifestyle entrepreneur. In each week we bring you an inspiring person or message

to help you discover how to unlock your inner greatness.

Thanks for spending some time with me today. Now let the class begin.

Colin Davis said the road to success and the road to failure are almost exactly the same.

And Oprah Winfrey said,

honor your calling. Everyone has one. Trust your heart and success will come to you.

My guest today is my friend Jamie Kern Lima. She is the founder of It Cosmetics which she started

in her living room and grew the company into the largest luxury makeup brand in the country.

She sold the company to L'Oreal in a billion dollar deal and became the first female CEO of a brand

in its history. Her love for her customers and remarkable authenticity and belief eventually

landed her on the Forbes America's Richest Self-made Women's List. Today she's a mother of two

and investor speaker and thought leader who is passionate about inspiring the world. And in this

episode we discuss how Jamie built a billion dollar business. How to push through self-doubt when

nobody is believing in your dream. What Jamie would do is she could go back and how she would grow

her business differently to be less stressful. How to run your business and have a thriving

relationship at the same time. What mindset changes she had to make in order to become more successful.

And the moment she knew she needed to exit her dream. She shares that knowing when to let go of a

dream is as important as knowing when to go after one. I'm very excited for you to hear this one.
