Cordia Harrington owns three McDonald's restaurants in Illinois. Being a single mom, she is very successful. Now let's talk about her story.

Why did you become a businesswoman?

I had good roots of love and encouragement. When I got crazy ideas, my dad would say, “You can do that!” Even when I was 11, I had a nursery school (托儿所) in my backyard, and charged (收费) 25 cents for three hours. At the end of the summer, I saved $60. Businessmen always believe there's a better way to do things.

What is the most important thing to be successful?

Doing what you say and never giving up.

When was your darkest moment?

I had the hardest time when I started the business. I must get up at 3:00 a.m., drive 78 miles, work eight hours, drive home, pick up the kids, put them to bed, and study. I was always tired, and sometimes I felt hopeless. And yet somehow I kept going.

You don't give up easily, do you?

Instead of complaining when problems come up, I take the energy and put it toward getting to the next level.

Do you bake (烘烤)?

I love to cook, but I'm not a very good baker! I take our frozen dough (面团) home and bake that. But if I had to do the cooking, my guests would be in trouble
