The real challenge is not simply to survive. Hell, anyone can do that. It's to survive as yourself, undiminished.

15 lessons from tory burch
Here are 15 lessons from one of the most formidable CEOs in fashion, Tory Burch:
1. When I think about fashion I think women will never lose that appetite for fashion.
2. I think women want to look beautiful. I think that's an important thing. It is relevant.
3. I've worked in many companies, and I think that, number one, if you are going to have a great environment, you produce great work... If people are happy, that's what's important. Life is short.
4. I never go out during the day without sunglasses.
5. I have always believed in 'less is more' in everything I do, from work to my personal life.
6. I think you can have it all. You just have to know it's going to work.
7. I love exploring New York and I think that's what is so exciting about it. You find places that you've never heard of or seen before all the time.
8. When I started my company, many people said I shouldn't launch it as a retail concept because it was too big a risk. They told me to launch as a wholesaler to test the waters - because that was the traditional way.
9. When I design a garment or a piece of accessory, the first question I ask myself is, 'Would I wear it?'
10. There are never enough hours in the day.
11. There's a negative connotation to ambitious women, and I think that we should be able to be proud of being ambitious and not shy away from that, if that... is what you want to do. Sometimes women entrepreneurs are their own challenge, in terms of believing in themselves. There is no need to apologize for being ambitious.
12. There are many things you can do overnight but there is no overnight success.
13. If it doesn't scare you, you're probably not dreaming big enough.
14. Being an entrepreneur isn't just a job title, and it isn't just about starting a company. It's a state of mind. It's about seeing connection others can't, seizing opportunities others won't, and forging new direction that others haven't.
15. We may live in an age of instant messaging, instant gratification, and Instagram, but there is no way to short-circuit the path to success. It takes hard work, tenacity, and patience. Buckle up and know that it's going to be a tremendous amount of work but embrace it.
