\\nPowerful Quotes by Sophie
\\n\\u25cf If you believe in your own skills and are driven to start a business, do it, and don\\u2019t let other people dissuade you just because you don\\u2019t have a lot of experience under your belt yet.
\\n\\u25cf Viewing the beauty industry as competition rather than an ally is a big mistake if you\\u2019re looking to start your business. It\\u2019s important to make sure that you have a good relationship with those in the industry because you never know when you need to call them up for help or advice.
\\n\\u25cf You can be whatever you are; but if you feel that it\\u2019s important to have a label, then embrace it.
