EBay gave me the framework to discover I was an e-commerce entrepreneur. I touched everything, from shipping to logistics.

Guess what? The world changes. eBay has defined e-commerce.

My parents taught me the value of money and working hard. And I kind of got that in me intuitively.

There are a lot of parents who've come to me and said about their daughters, 'Oh my God, she's 21, she's totally flailing. Your story gives me hope.' I put my mom through that.

A lot of people in my generation don't seem to get that you have to work your way up. I don't care if filing invoices is beneath you. If you don't do it, who do you think is going to? Your boss? Nope. That's why she hired you.

I think it's important that everyone understands that there's no real prescription to having an awesome life.
