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."
Career Profile: Andrea Hippeau, Lerer Hippeau
"Don’t change who you are because you think that’s what is expected of you. If we were all truer to ourselves, we’d all be a bit better off."
Career Profile: Loren Brill, Sweet Loren’s
"Do something you love and believe in so that you get to live your dream and feel aligned with what you work on every day. I believe that nothing feels better than finding something you want to give 100% of yourself to. You’ll not only feel lit up every day, but it will be something that will compel you to grow into the biggest, best version of yourself."
Career Profile: Nicola Palmer, Verizon
"Connecting with other professional women has helped me tremendously through the years. The lessons that can be learned from those who have already been in the trenches, so to speak, are invaluable for weathering the inevitable storms and achieving long-term satisfaction."
Career Profile: Amanda Chantal Bacon, Moon Juice
"The reality and “secret” of success is relentless repetition and commitment. I’ve learned this by waking up every day and getting to work no matter how tired, bored, uninspired, scared, frustrated, sick, sad or discouraged I feel. All of these experiences are impermanent and, by continuing to show up, you will experience success."
Career Profile: Agnes Chapski, NewBeauty and Beauty Engine
"Be strategic and forward-thinking but nimble enough to change course if needed."

"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. "

"There hasn’t been a transformative business idea that "experts"' in the industry didn’t initially dismiss as impossible."
Career Profile: Kristi Kohut, Kristi Kohut Studio
"I love what I do so much. I live and breath it. I’m constantly working and creating and dreaming. And I think when you are doing what you love and what you are meant to do, the success will just follow."
Career Profile: Rachel Drori, Daily Harvest
"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. It’s something that stuck with me and, as I began to build my own team, and it’s a mantra I try to encourage because it removes the fear of making mistakes, which can stifle true innovation."
Career Profile: Melissa Biggs Bradley, Indagare
"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."
Career Profile: Yunha Kim, Simple Habit
"If you’re excited about something, take big risks and don’t be afraid to fail. With every experience, there is a lesson to be learned. But you have to commit."
Career Profile: Naomi Hirabayashi and Marah Lidey, Shine
"It doesn’t matter how smart you are if you’re not kind and people don’t want to work with you. We look for kind, smart people that elevate others."
Career Profile: Daniella Pierson, The Newsette
"The harder you work, the luckier you get. My father constantly uses that motto in his own companies, and it’s a mantra that both of my hard-working parents live by. No one accidentally stumbles upon success, you have to earn it."
