I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the message contained in this excellent video interview by Babson College, of Ruthie Davis – an award winning shoe designer, who is an alumnus of the institution.Now, in as much as the video is self-serving for the authoring institution, Ruthie’s message resonates greatly with me, because I KNOW, from my experiences as an entrepreneur that what she says is true. Her insights are accurate and can help others.That is why I have chosen to share THAT video with you, to start off 2019, along with a verbatim text transcript I have prepared. Note also that I have added a link to a downloadable mobile friendly version of the video you can watch offline.Here’s wishing you greater joy, success and fulfillment in 2019 and beyond!

PII 149: Live, Sleep, Eat, Drink What You Do, to Achieve Success [VIDEO INTERVIEW of Ruthie Davis – Award Winning Shoe Designer]
Here’s the transcript, followed by the video:
Those who dream, we call DREAMERS.Those who do, we call ENTREPRENEURS.
INTERVIEW – BABSON UNIVERSITY, USA
Ruthie Davis, MBA ’93
Award Winning Lead Designer and President Ruthie Davis Shoes===Starts===“I literally dream about shoes, all the time.I live, sleep, eat, drink fashion.
It’s not something I separate. I’m like always designing.
Historically, both in ready to wear and in shoes and accessories, it has been men.
I’m kind of the new garde, which is “wait minute, why shouldn’t a woman know what a woman wants when it comes to footwear?”
I’m always telling young designers, who are very creative coming out of art schools:
“You’ve got to learn the business. In the world we live today, you can’t just sit in the corner and draw shoes, for example. You have to know how to market the shoes. You have to know how to sell the shoes. You have to know how to cost the shoes. You know…you don’t design into a vacuum.
To be an entrepreneur, you don’t have to be like myself – the LEAD entrepreneur.
You know, the people who work for me, they all have to be entrepreneurs. So it’s really a way of thinking. It’s an empowering way of thinking. It’s an accountability. It’s you can make a difference. It’s going to your job and not just thinking that you’re a cog in the wheel. It’s thinking like you could affect the wheel. You can innovate the wheel. You can make it a better wheel. That kind of thinking is so important for any type of job, any type of career – and especially design.
I think having my entrepreneurship background gave me that confidence that I could go out on a limb and innovate. “
