Madam CJ Walker said " I got my start by giving myself a start." :)
"I am a woman who came from the cotton fields of the south. From there I was promoted to the wash tub. From there I was promoted to the cook kitchen. And from there I promoted myself into the business of manufacturing hair goods and preparations. I have built my own factory on my own ground."

"There is no royal, flower-strewn path to success and if there is, I have not found it, for whatever success I have attained has been the result of much hard work and many sleepless nights."
