Early on, Oprah Winfrey had a grand vision to create a television network, according to Black Enterprise.
“And I think should be called OWN,” she had said. “It just works out. Those initials O-W-N.”
She wrote that in her journal on May 24, 1992. Talk about the SECRET. It really works.
Yes. And if someone doesn’t stop her, she’s going to have a breakdown.
This woman works way too much already. (BTW - I’m writing this at 2:00 a.m. so I should talk.)
And in Black Enterprise she discusses how she will never “cancel” on someone.
“The greatest fear for me of ever canceling is that you’re going to disappoint somebody,” said Oprah.
“It’s no small think. I take it personally. That’s what commitment means to me.”
Oprah - take it easy!
