![‘Need To Be Assertive And Exhibit Boss Behavior'](https://magarticles.magzter.com/articles/2171/711097/6107f2517d228/Hollywood.jpg)
Q. Being a newcomer to business when you first started, how did you pick up the tricks of trade and enterprise? What were the significant challenges?
A. One of the biggest challenges I faced early on was doubting myself – doubting that I could do it if I didn’t have a business degree. I navigated through it by listening, learning and trusting myself on what matters most. I think there is also this assumption that starting a business is easy when you are a celebrity, but success in one industry doesn’t necessarily open doors in another. I had the drive and I had the idea, but I still needed the funding and the infrastructure. When I was pitching room after room of (mostly) men to raise initial seed funding, I was also pregnant with my second child. Some thought I should be a spokesmodel for other brands, others thought I should start smaller. That’s the part of business where being an actor helps: rejection. The more I was rejected, the more I honed my pitch. I am also really driven by my curiosity, I’m constantly asking questions and I surround myself with people who have different strengths than I do, so I’m always learning and growing.
Q. The Honest Company has just debuted on the Nasdaq. Where do you see it in the next five years?
