Shopping Is Serious Business To Her

She grew up in a brown bathroom.

But that didn't stop Holly Getty from pursuing a life that was much more colorful and creative, eventually designing her dream-come-true work as a style consultant in New York City.

Holly writes about her experience growing up where her skills to dress others and to shop were not exactly appreciated...and in fact she received many messages that her 'gift to shop' was frivolous and a problem. Ouch.

Only when she started to value her amazing abilities -- and do the work she was destined for -- did she flourish! Read Holly's account of her journey in the chapter "Taking Shopping Seriously."

Holly is pictured here with Women on Fire Founder Debbie Phillips.

A native of Pennsylvania, she lives in New York City and you can learn more about her at: www.hollygetty.com
