Her granddaughter, A\u2019Lelia Bundles, talks about her grandmother\u2019s formula for success. \u201cTenacity and perseverance, faith in herself and in God, quality products and \u2018honest business dealings\u2019 are the elements and strategies she prescribed for aspiring entrepreneurs who requested the secret to her rags-to-riches ascent<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Wisdom from the ancient sages tells us, when we arrive at heaven\u2019s gate, the one question we\u2019ll be asked is; \u201cDid you deal honestly in business?<\/em>\u201d Madam Walker got the memo. She ran her business with integrity and understood what it takes to make it with your good name intact. She said, \u201cThere is no royal flower-strewn path to success. And if there is, I have not found it for if I have accomplished anything in life it is because I have been willing to work hard.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

A woman who defies all odds to rise to unprecedented success is surely a hero. Developing products to make women look and feel good is heroic as well. But the wealthy person who understands that it\u2019s God who provides, is simply inspired.<\/p>\n
