"Victoria Beckham has said that she did not become a fashion designer to &amp;quot;prove anything to anybody&amp;quot;. The 40-year-old, who celebrated her birthday last week, spoke to Mashable about her clothing empire and also how she copes with moments of self-doubt.   Victoria Beckham turns 40: The star&amp;#039;s style evolution in pictures  Of her eponymous clothing line, Beckham said that when she initially established the brand she &amp;quot;didn&amp;#039;t put too much pressure on myself&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t go into this to prove anything to anybody other than myself,&amp;quot; the mum-of-four added. &amp;quot;I was very focused. I didn&amp;#039;t try to do everything at once. &amp;quot;For quite a few seasons, I stuck to just perfecting the dress. I didn&amp;#039;t want to run before I could walk. It&amp;#039;s very important to be focused and do what I was doing very, very well and move on and do more when my team was in the position to do that. &amp;quot;So I think it&amp;#039;s about keeping things focused and not trying to do too much.&amp;quot;  Beckham, who recently said that she had &amp;quot;always dreamed&amp;quot; about designing a clothing collection, also revealed that she believed &amp;quot;everybody has crazy moments of self-doubt&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I think that an element of that is probably quite important,&amp;quot; she added. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s about creative visualisation and challenging yourself, but always staying very positive. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s nothing wrong with having a second little person sitting over your shoulder, making sure that you&amp;#039;re remaining humble and you&amp;#039;re remaining appreciative of everything that you have and everything that you&amp;#039;ve achieved. &amp;quot;But you should definitely not waste too much time being negative in any way. It&amp;#039;s about positive thinking, positive energy, and fighting if you need to fight.&amp;quot; A decade of Victoria Beckham   "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
