Summary

Tyra Banks booked 25 fashion shows her first year being an "unknown." That's unheard of. She climbed to the top of an industry and consistently created new opportunities for herself. When "they" said she was getting too fat, she switched from high-fashion to commercial modeling. When "they" said her idea for a TV show was stupid, she found someone else and got a "yes." Then she produced one of the highest rated reality TV shows "America's Top Model." She excelled in 150 countries. And created 25 international versions, too. And what was most impressive was that Tyra had her hands in all of it. She's a true entrepreneur. And I'm so lucky to have learned from her. Now you get, too.
