Miranda Kerr

Founder and CEO

KORA ORGANICS

“Don’t be afraid to ask for advice or admit you don’t understand something. In the past, I was resistant to ask for help because I didn’t want to put anyone out or have people think I didn’t understand. But people love helping out, and being honest and transparent is important to understand all aspects of your business.”

Kerr, a fashion model, launched her Los Angelesbased, self-funded beauty brand in 2009.
