5 Traits Every Successful Person Needs with Loren Ridinger, Co-Founder of Shop.com & Market America

Loren Ridinger is the Co-Founder of internet retailing giants,
Shop.Com and Market America.


Although Loren is now recognized as an internet mogul who has
changed the face of the beauty and e-commerce industries over the
past two decades, her life started with very humble beginnings.
She moved to Greensboro, NC at a young age, worked in retail when
she was sixteen, and at eighteen, Loren and her husband, JR, took
a chance on their dream to make it easy for people to shop online
at a time when most people didn’t even have computers in their
home. 


Twenty-nine years later, their companies Market America and
Shop.com generate over a billion dollars in annual sales and
serve more than 10 million customers. The company is still
headquartered in Greensboro, NC, and is quite global with offices
in nine other countries. 


Loren also founded the award-winning cosmetics line Motives and
is recognized for her work in publications like Forbes, Elle, and
Vogue, where she was included in their 100 Most Influential Women
issue. 


In today’s episode, we dig into the top five themes that will
allow anyone to be successful with their dreams: 1) importance of
belief & visualization, 2) being your true, authentic self,
3) having the right people around you, 4) goal setting the
'right' way, and 5) always doing the hard things first.
