Spanx Inventor, Sara Blakely says she used to be so terrified of sales calls that she would cry and drive around the block until she could get in control. But that was before she cut the feet off a pair of control-top pantyhose, discovering the slimming look she eventually patented to create Spanx.

Today Spanx are sold in about 10,000 locations, but “when I invented Spanx I heard ‘no’ for two years,” she says. “… I didn’t have a special ability, it was sheer drive and telling myself to keep going.”
