One of the biggest lessons I have learned as an entrepreneur is to tune out the naysayers.

What is a naysayer? Someone who sees shortcomings before they see potential. Someone who shuts down ideas, instead of seeing them as a starting point. Someone who can’t dream for themselves and certainly can’t dream for others.

When I first founded JAMAH, I heard from many naysayers. I was told that my dream of founding the first American luxury, Made in the USA bespoke handbag brand was impossible because there would simply never be another big fashion house.

Can you imagine if Steve Jobs had listened when he was told there would never be another Microsoft?

By no means am I against constructive criticism  - there have been numerous times in my career when I needed to be reined in! But experience has taught me that the most valuable feedback comes from those who support us.

And that’s how I realized: If You Are Not My Cheerleader, You Cannot Play In My Sandbox.

In a sweet and satisfying twist of irony, the voices that questioned my dedication to the impossible are the same voices now praising my commitment and perseverance.
