If you are like me, reading such amazing success stories like Sara Blakely's are hard not to revisit or pass along.

As we all know 'SPANX' is somewhat of a household name now, did you know who, what, and how it all began?

Well, for me I got my copy of Forbes in the mail and I couldn't stop reading and then looking up more about this amazing M.O.M Sara, whom can inspire all of us to turn $5k into a Billion!

Sara Blakely, who took a simple idea of a footless pantyhose and turned it into a $1 billion business. The inventor of Spanx is now the youngest self-made woman(41) on the Forbes rich list.  So, of course I had to make her our M.O.M to mention!

Working Mom, Wife and from "Working as a sales trainer by day and performing stand-up comedy at night, I didn't know the first thing about the pantyhose industry (except I dreaded wearing most pantyhose). Also, I had never taken a business class which made the process even more challenging. As a result, I had only one source to operate from...my gut."
