Career Profile: Lindsey Johnson and Liz Eichholz, Weezie Towels
"We wish we had appreciated that careers are long and never linear. I think this is as much our personalities as it is our generation, but when we were first out of school we were both hyper-focused on planning out every step of our careers. It never ends up where you think it will, and we’re really grateful for that."

All of these experiences are impermanent and, by continuing to show up, you will experience success."

"Hold your principles. Clayton Christensen, one of my professors from business school, said: 'It’s easier to hold your principles 100% of the time than it is to hold them 98% of the time.' To me, this holds true in life and in entrepreneurship. "

"I have been lucky enough to have a handful of amazing mentors throughout my career. One of my former bosses taught me to ask for forgiveness instead of permission.

"I wish I had known that a plan is less important than a strategy. I worried a lot about following the next steps and trying to understand exactly where my path was headed. What I have come to believe is that progress is more important than knowing the destination. So, for instance, as long as you are building skills, expertise and relationships, you can figure out how to use them and you don’t have to have a master plan."
