For many of us, Oprah is a constant source of inspiration, so you may find it interesting to hear what she had to say at her Harvard University commencement speech after she received her honorary degree.

Oprah was beautifully humble in her speech, acknowledging how she had failed in her life and how she bounced back from this embarrassing public failure. “It doesn’t matter how far you might rise. At some point, you are bound to stumble.” Oprah spoke. “And when you do I want you to know this, remember this: there is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction.”

Angela has said “Being an entrepreneur, you have to always be an optimist. Entrepreneurship is extremely tough. You have put your life into it. You almost work 18 hours every day. You will face lots of ups and downs. You will hear thousands of people say you can’t. But you must know that entrepreneurship is all about making impossible things possible. You are doing great things building a tool and product with only a few people in a small team, and when on the same level it may require hundreds of people from a big corporation to do it. You are all exceptional people among the others.”

Being in the spotlight has not been easy for Oprah. At any time, people are pushing here in a million different directions. In her conclusion, she shares, “If you’re willing to listen to, be guided by, that still small voice that is the G.P.S. within yourself, to find out what makes you come alive, you will be more than okay. You will be happy, you will be successful, and you will make a difference in the world.”

Angela understands how impossible it can seem to reach the success level of those in the media and explained her point of view, “There is no overnight success. Behind every successful entrepreneur and business, there are many years of hard work, building relationships, connecting the dots, and learning many difficult lessons along the way.” She has found inspiration and wisdom from the success of others and applied that and a lot of hard work to begin realizing her dreams.
