I have never had anything done. I've been asked if I had breast implants. Whether I did or not, it's nobody's business but my own.
I think that a big shame of how women are approached in business is they're oftentimes looked to for perspective and not implementation.
By now, it seems as if everyone has already read Thomas L. Friedman's 'The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century.' It changed the way we think about global business, competitiveness and the implication for far-flung economies, governments, education and more.

Love has always been the most important business in my life, I should say the only one.
Impact investment is an important business driver, and more importantly, it is a business driver because clients want it.
Secure our borders first. Let us know and let us make sure the American people know that we're taking care of the important business of dealing with the illegal immigration into this country.

We've got to lift our game tremendously. We'll sell our business news and information in print, we'll sell it to anyone who's got a cable system, and we'll sell it on the Web.
