From Diane von Furstenberg to Nicole Warne, pearls of wisdom on love, life and family from the strong women who have graced the pages of Harper’s BAZAAR.

CHASE YOUR DREAMS “If you have a dream, you should really try and go for it.” —Victoria Beckham.

SET CLEAR GOALS FOR YOURSELF

“Never do anything too fast. I’ve learnt that in business, you have to be focused. But you have to be very open as well and know that if things don’t happen, it’s probably for a reason. It may not be the right time to do it. ” —Chiara Ferragni.

LIVE LIFE WITHOUT REGRETS

“There’s nothing I wouldn’t change about my life. You only regret the things you don’t do, and I did everything I wanted to.” —Diane von Furstenberg.

ALWAYS BE FAIR, WARM, ENCOURAGING AND INSPIRING

“I want my studio to be a place that makes people excited to come to work. I want them to bring their best energy, and to push themselves so that they can grow and excel. When I meet someone who has that spark, I can immediately tell.” —Donatella Versace.

BUILD A STRONG SUPPORT SYSTEM

“I think what you give is what you get in return. I look at everyone as friends rather than just work colleagues. Fashion (and blogging) is an industry driven mainly by women, and I think it adds new perspective when we encourage and grow together rather than work against each other.” —Nicole Warne.

GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR INNER CHILD

“I’d like to be the kind of mother who still remembers what it’s like to be a little kid… I want to be a guide, but also a sympathetic ear. The world is a tough place to grow up in, and I think our children need every encouragement and ounce of understanding we can give them.” —Coco Rocha.

SEE THE CUP AS HALF FULL

“No matter how bad things may seem, a new day is around the corner.” —Tory Burch.
