Sophia Amoruso People Quotations

A lot of people in my generation don't seem to get that you have to work your way up. I don't care if filing invoices is beneath you. If you don't do it, who do you think is going to? Your boss? Nope. That's why she hired you.

It's important that people are open. Some people say, 'I'm going to be a doctor,' and they're a really good doctor. But for the rest of us, it's a big question mark. Just giving yourself a break, letting yourself try new things, and when something doesn't work out, moving along... it's all we can really do.

I've probably spent more time than any other brand reading every last comment. To listen to people the way you're able to online is very powerful.

A lot of young people who I employ expect a raise after three months or expect not to have to put in more work than what's in their job description.

I would say I'm a boss who's learning, and I hope people have the patience for the fact that I'm learning along the way because that's a tough thing.

I don't have a lot of style icons. There are not a lot of people today who I look to.

Lots of people are going to sell clothes online. But not a lot of people have built a brand, a living, breathing brand that people feel like they're part of.

I think many people go to business school and learn ways to play it safe, ensuring that they avoid some of the pain that entrepreneurs endure while taking less calculated risks.

When I go through hundreds of applications from people who all have very similar-sounding experience, cover letters are the only glimpse I have into a person's personality.

Everyone does a style book, and I wanted to write a business book for people that didn't think they would like a business book.

I want people to feel the freedom to be themselves.

It's amazing how directly you can connect with people via social media.

You can work for other people and still be a #GIRLBOSS; it's more about a state of mind and knowing yourself well enough to know when you're making decisions for yourself or because the world expects them of you. And guess what? It's okay to do that sometimes, too.

It's the beauty of the Web. You can pretend to be anything you want. But people figure out pretty quick if you don't live up to it.

No matter where you are in life, you'll save a lot of time by not worrying too much about what other people think about you. The earlier in your life that you can learn that, the easier the rest of it will be.

The biggest challenge is people thinking you know everything going on in your company, because you're at the top of it and you started it. But the thing is, nobody knows everything about anything.

When you think about people, you give them power.

Its not about being included. It about creating your own space and including yourself and then finding other people that are like okay.
