HATTIE: It's called
cashflow.
VICKY: Yeah, you
know, things sometimes take longer than you think, but you just keep moving
forward.
HATTIE: I want to
understand again, the difference between who you are today and the woman who
took the temp job.
VICKY: I had the
luxury, I would say, in getting into this industry -- or the opportunity to be
able to work through every department so that I understood everything about the
business, the whole detail.
HATTIE: Okay, is it
mentors though? Is it people that took you in and said Vicky you need to learn
this? Or is it you saying, you said a little bit earlier, I want to learn it.
VICKY: No, I just
take on more. That's my personality, I just take on more. So then when
something happens and they have a need for another manager -- it's let Vicky do
that, so then I would take that responsibility on and I could handle it.
HATTIE: All right.
So it's being there early. Staying late.
VICKY: Getting the
job done. Being organized. Delivering.
HATTIE: So you
really went from a town of like 20,000 people as a kid -- Gillette, Wyoming
where you grew up and then you went to the big city of Denver, and then the
huge city of Los Angeles. Do you think on that journey you carried something
with you from Gillette?
VICKY: For sure I
did. However, it's funny -- I feel I have, and I know that my core self and
values stem from the environment I grew up in. But we did have magazines and we
did have television and we had books when I grew up here. So I could see the
world and I always knew that I wanted to experience the world.
CHERYL: If you're
starting a business, believe in it. You can't sell and grow anything you
absolutely don't believe in your heart that it's the right thing to do.
VICKY: It's about
not just dreaming, but doing something to make your dreams come true. You have
to have some action.
PAMELA: I chose
this road. Nobody put a gun to my head and said Pam become a dealer. I chose
this path, so I have to bear those consequences. But the rewards were great.
VICKY: I love what
I do. I'm having so much fun, Hattie. Each year gets better and better.
HATTIE: Want to
build a strong company, try your hand at some heavy lifting. These women are
proof, you can make it in a man's world. I'll see you next time.
