The story of Sara’s success is remarkable.
Sara Blakely was working as a door to door saleswomen. One time, she had a problem with her undergarment and she had to create a makeshift undergarment, which she loved to wear. Friends and Family loved it too. So with no business experience, she started Spanx.

Richard Branson said that she is “an inspiration to women around the world.”
