https://youtu.be/2Dxj3rfUNgA *This episode is pretaped, Maria will still be out this week*  For years and years, @JamieKernLima, the mega-mega-millionaire who sold her cosmetics company #ITCosmetics to @LOreal for over a billion dollars, was told her line wouldn't sell, she didn't have the instincts for beauty, and, prepare to get angry, she wasn't the type of person who woman would buy beauty products from... she didn't fit THEIR mold.  Yet, this fierce, smart, bad ass wouldn't take no for an answer. She listened to her gut, not the haters and just kept fighting, pushing and. BELIEVING.  How did Jamie continue to push through the criticism? How did she go from less than $1,000 in her bank account, 22 bank loan rejections and being a Denny's waitress to the CEO of a Billion Dollar company? How did she do it all and continue to do it all with light and kindness? She divulges all in our interview.   Tag a friend below who has big dreams yet feels defeated and that the odds are stacked against them. The  journey and advice Jaime shares on @BetterTogetherwithMaria  will help any budding entrepreneur or anyone with big goals. I learned a ton myself. Tune in, listen up, and prepare to be inspired. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support
