☆ Founder of $1 billion startup shares her No. 1 piece of advice—you already 'have everything you need' to follow it
  + stars: | 2024-02-14 | by ( Tom Huddleston Jr. | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Don't let other people's judgments drain your faith in yourself, especially when it comes to pursuing big ideas. That's advice from Gregg Renfrew, who knows something about becoming successful by sticking to her convictions: Her clean beauty startup Beautycounter was most recently valued at $1 billion, as of April 2021. In some ways, humans are wired to be naysayers as a way of avoiding unnecessary risks, research shows. But ultimately, you need to build your confidence to be successful, Renfrew says. "You genuinely have everything you need to be successful, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise," she says.

☆ Founder of $1 billion startup says mom gave her $5,000 after college, then cut her off: ‘It forced me to start hustling’

When Gregg Renfrew was a year out of college and racking up credit card debt, she called her mom for help — only to be told, bluntly, "Well, it's time to get a new job." "Living in fear of not being able to pay my bills — having literally no idea — it forced me to start hustling," she tells CNBC Make It. Less than a year after moving to the city, she "immediately racked up credit card bills," owing more than $1,000 on her American Express card, she says. Instead, her mom instructed her to find a way to make enough money to pay off her own debts. "I was fortunate to have a debt-free education and to receive any money," says Renfrew.

Gregg Renfrew built a billion-dollar brand, only to end up on the outside looking in after investors brought in a replacement CEO. Renfrew, 55, founded clean beauty brand Beautycounter in 2011 with the mission of disrupting the cosmetics industry by only selling products made without "questionable or harmful chemicals." Along the way, Renfrew and Beautycounter raised more than $93 million from investors, according to Crunchbase. Renfrew: It was really, really difficult. I sold the business right before the world opened up with Covid and so much was changing and swirling around.
