Reese Witherspoon opened up on how she launched her production firm. “I was told not to put my own money in it several times by many, many advisors.

Recently, the 47-year-old talked about how to deal with rejections.
“I think I started so young, and rejection was such an early piece of my life that I learned a long time ago that other people's opinions of me are none of my business,” she said at HubSpot’s annual INBOUND event.
The actress continued, “I really don't care what anybody thinks. I'm gonna do my work anyway. I'm gonna date whoever I want, go hang out with a friend nobody likes. When you release that feeling of other people's opinions crushing you or holding you down, you're free. You’re totally free.”
