Known as a self-help guru and the \u0026amp;#x27;Queen of All Media\u0026amp;#x27;, Oprah has been shining light on social issues and encouraging fans to \u0026amp;#x27;live your best life\u0026amp;#x27; for more than 30 years, revolutionising her corner of the entertainment industry in the process. Winfrey\u0026amp;#x27;s unprecedented influence and celebrity often overshadow her indisputable entrepreneurial prowess and business acumen. Even though Oprah has stated that she wouldn\u0026amp;#x27;t consider herself a businesswoman, her ever-expanding media empire and record-breaking multibillion-dollar fortune say otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOprah Winfrey: In Her Own Words\u003c\/i\u003e provides a unique look into the wisdom and thought processes of one of the most adored, respected, and powerful women in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFortune has called \u003ci\u003eO: The Oprah Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, now in its 22nd year of publication (now as a digital entity), \u0026amp;#x27;the most successful startup ever in the industry\u0026amp;#x27;. In its infancy, the magazine became a highly profitable addition to the Hearst portfolio, amassing ever-increasing ad sales and a paid circulation larger than industry giants such as \u003ci\u003eVogue \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eMartha Stewart Living\u003c\/i\u003e. Over the last several years, her media holdings and interests have also included an award-winning movie production studio, a satellite radio channel, the cable-TV company Oxygen Media, and the burgeoning OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFew entrepreneurs have been savvy enough to leverage their resources with the foresight Oprah has demonstrated in her decades-long career. Oprah\u0026amp;#x27;s key asset, developed over the course of decades, is herself: a brand she controls by shrewdly choosing partnerships and endorsement deals and not kowtowing to convention. At the outset of her career, Oprah decided to start a company rather than take the conventional talent-for-hire path. She, along with a few close executives, took her initial TV success and grew it into a multibillion-dollar media conglomerate, with one woman at the helm. Her influence in the marketplace is unprecedented. Just look at the long-term impact her recommendations and endorsements have had in the fields of consumer products and book publishing, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNewly updated and repackaged from its original publication in 2016 as \u003ci\u003eOwn It: Oprah Winfrey in Her Own Words\u003c\/i\u003e, this book collects Oprah's most insightful quotations, centred around her media career, life lessons, entrepreneurship, and remarkable personal story. Oprah\u0026amp;#x27;s next venture is unknown, but its success, like her other triumphs, depends on Oprah - and the self-reliance, values, and vision on which she has built her empire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46830046412958,"sku":"ADS-9781572843226","price":22.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781572843226.jpg?v=1778559096","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781572843226","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
