Create Yourself First (then that shiny life you’re chasing happens anyway)

Sara Blakely, Founder of Spanx, became the youngest self-made female billionaire in the world at only 41.

It wasn’t overnight success of course, but years of graft and wily determination. How did she do it? As witty as she is hard-working (stints…
