Be Flexible - Rachael Ray

Rachael Ray
Company: Every Day With Rachael Ray
Net Worth: Unknown

The fact that Rachael Ray did not know where she was going makes where she wound up today all the more impressive.

Despite never working at a five-star restaurant, attending a single cooking class, or training under a revered chef, Ray has made a name for herself as one of the industry’s most successful cooks.

She is one of Food Network television’s most popular hosts, the author of numerous bestselling cookbooks, and editor-in-chief of her own magazine. More recently, Ray stepped out even farther into the limelight with her own hour-long daytime talk show, “Rachael Ray”.

So, if not from a culinary institute, how did this daytime diva get the know-how that has taken her on a meteoric rise to fame?

Advice For Entrepreneurs:

“When you’re trying to balance everything, you just have to be flexible. So you can’t have dinner until around 9 p.m. or 10 p.m. If that’s what it is, that’s what it is. You can’t have it all without sacrificing quite a bit. You can’t be too rigid with things like what time you’ll have dinner or when you’ll take vacation.”
