London, Jan 29 : Victoria Beckham credits her growing confidence to a change of career.

Being a successful and celebrated fashion designer, the former Spice Girl said that the secret of her success is quite simply - sheer hard work.

In a stunning cover shoot spanning twelve pages in Elle Magazine the mum-of-four said that she hopes to pass her work ethic on to her children Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.

"I don't have to work, I need to work. But I have a good work ethic. David has an incredible work ethic. I want my kids to have a good work ethic. I believe you can achieve anything if you work hard enough to get it," the Daily Mail quoted her as telling the publication.

She admitted that she is a "control freak" who finds it hard to trust others, and fears her co-stars and even her husband are more popular than she is.

Victoria, 38, admitted that she finds it hard to delegate responsibility while running her Victoria Beckham Collection fashion line. (ANI)
