Career Profile: Dorie Golkin Smith and Emelyn Northway, Of Mercer
"The coolest opportunities that you’ll have in 30 years probably don’t even exist right now, so you’re definitely not considering them in your plan. Heck, maybe you’ll be running a company from Mars! Make the best decision each step of the way, and your career will take its natural path, though not the one that you necessarily planned."

Best. Year. Ever.
Career Profile: Heidi Zak, ThirdLove
"Get very comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you’re going to be your own boss—or potentially start your own company one day—you need to get used to learning things you don’t know, taking risks, and not knowing exactly what the next day will bring.
