""For decades, I searched my external world for that magic bullet that would magically catapult me out of some of life’s lowest lows — sexual abuse, domestic violence, multiple bankruptcies. Eventually I realized that I had the power deep within me. It was there all along; I just had to learn to look inside myself and to dig it out from under years and years of familial and societal programming." (suzybatiz.com); "Your business is a living, dynamic organism that you birthed. You can dream of what you want it to be when it grows up, but it will also tell you what it wants to be, similar to a child deciding what to be when they grow up. You will know what's best for it, so don't put much emphasis on external opinions and validation. Not one person thought my idea for Poo-Pourri was a good idea, and in fact, they all thought I was nuts—and here we are 13 years later and on the Forbes Richest Self-Made Women in America list!" (forbes/com); " I believe that the first step we need to take is to look more closely at people’s inherent capabilities, regardless of gender, race, ability, etc. When people express themselves fully in their own unique genius, they’re able to create the most epic ideas, movements, products and businesses. So if each one of us as people focus on making sure we’re working in our genius—meaning we’re doing what truly lights us up and what comes naturally to us—and as employers we focus on finding the very best person for a particular job, ignoring societal factors, I believe that the gender gap will naturally balance out." (forbes.com); “I’m only about transformation,” she said. “That’s just what I do. That’s my whole life. I transform poop into smelling good.” (newyorker.com); " [alive as shit] means to be fulfilled in life; to be filled with the things that get you up in the morning, that turn you on, and lights you up. The name [ALIVE] stands for Abundance Lives in Vibrational Energy. When you can keep the vibration of that passion in its highest frequency, then it allows you to look at a piece of art and understand what the artist is telling you – you can feel that energy. It’s the same thing with a product and how I run my businesses." (rollingstone.com); "
