 Meaning :  Get inspired with the life and words of famed entrepreneur Walt Disney who said “If you can dream it, you can do it”.   The most famous quote attributed to Walt Disney, the creator of the much-loved Disney characters is “If you can dream it, you can do it.” The quote itself is beautiful, but it takes on special meaning given Walt Disney’s personal story. Struggling as a cartoonist, he created the character of Mickey Mouse and eventually, when he could not get his work published, created an animation company that immortalised his vision and is one of the largest media houses in the world today.   It is not just his business journey that is an inspiration.

You are powerful as your hope, you are powerful as your action

In this series, open every door Entrepreneur staff writer Nina Zipkin shares her conversations with leaders about understanding what you have to offer, navigating the obstacles that will block your path, identifying opportunity and creating it for yourself and for others.



For 17 years, Cyndie Spiegel worked for some of fashion’s biggest brands, including Coach and Narciso Rodriguez. She also worked to help mold the minds of young fashion students as an adjunct professor at Parsons School of Design and her alma mater, Fashion Institute of Technology. But one day she realized that as much as she loved the world of fashion, it wasn’t the work that she was most excited about.

In 2015, with her experience as a yoga teacher as well as her work as a speaker, small business strategist and coach, Spiegel founded the collective of US, a business accelerator designed to help women entrepreneurs develop their companies through networking, community building and the sharing of helpful tools and business strategies.

Spiegel says she started the accelerator because she found herself unmoored after forging ahead to be her own boss. “When I joined the entrepreneurial space, it was completely by accident. I felt like I was a little bit too old for this space because I was 35 at the time, and I didn't have the community anymore,” she told Entrepreneur. “I needed women with no other thing in common except that they had businesses and a common thread being that they wanted to empower other women. And I would be the one to curate that community.”
