LinkedIn is great, but Pulse takes it a step further by providing a mobile-friendly solution to connect, organize, and follow up with the people who matter most.

Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey is, let’s be real, enough of a legend to just be called a singular name - Oprah.

She’s an icon and she dominated daytime television like nobody had before her and likely like nobody ever will again.

Her show was critical for a number of entrepreneurs I’ve written about previously, including Sara Blakely and Tory Burch, as well as Tyler Perry.

Her story is one of the most remarkable you’ll hear of, becoming a self-made billionaire, and one of the richest women on the planet.

There’s so much to her story, more than I can cover here in one post and everyone, especially entrepreneurs, can learn a great deal about resilience, self-belief, and the value of ownership from it.

Let’s get to it.
