The most important thing that I did was to actually take the time to sit down every month and do a review of what I spent and look at it objectively.

The big experience of feeling like I jumped off into the deep end was that transition from college into the workforce. There were so many unwritten rules I didn't understand.

Be the best you can be, but acknowledge that you will make mistakes, and then know which errors to let go of. There will be typos in e-mails, meetings you are late for, daily to-do lists that don't get completed. Cut yourself some slack and, more important, reward yourself along the way.

When faced with an obstacle or uncertainty in your abilities, use it as an opportunity to grow your talents.

If you're not certain about something, it might mean you should reach out to a person you trust for advice.

Impostor syndrome, or feeling like a fraud at work, at home, or anywhere else in your life, will probably affect you at some point.

You need to be really great at your job. You need a strong network of peers, and you need a strong network of mentors.

We work more than we do anything else in our lives, but the average person only interacts with four to five colleagues. Outside of that, they don't build that many relationships.

A mentor is someone who is willing to give you advice that isn't in the best interest for them. It takes a real mentor to put you first.

Education has rules and parameters. Women outperform men when the parameters are clear.

Fashion doesn't boost my confidence - rather, it provides a canvas to express or reflect it and whatever is influencing me in my life at the moment.

White is hands down my favorite color and the color I wear the most.

Power is ultimately about the energy you emanate from within.

Run focus groups. Do whatever you need to do to get 8 to 10 people together in a room and put your product in front of them. Ask them how much they would pay for it and whether they would pay for it. It's really important to get user validation early and often.

Just displaying your resume online, which LinkedIn lets you do, isn't enough.

I'm nicknaming millennials 'the purpose generation' because we're making so many decisions.

Having women who are already successful take the leap of faith to help younger women is critical.

I used to be an awful asker. I was the 14-year-old who didn't correct the family I would babysit for when they gave me less money than we had agreed to, because it felt rude and scary.

Taking care of myself used to be at the bottom of my list, but I'm all about wellness.

I've started to really nurture a bedtime routine, which, for me, starts with caffeine-free tea, usually rooibos or jasmine tea, something soothing, very fragrant, just a reminder to get back to your senses.

Productivity doesn't have to be complicated. It can be easily boosted through a manageable combination of the right tools, resources, and habits to make the most of your time.

You're actually making the rest of your day productive by spending 30 minutes reviewing your to-do's, prioritizing them, and ruthlessly removing things that shouldn't be there.

You're a smart person. You're going to figure out where you can be more effective and more efficient with your own resources, and that's going to put more of an investment and emphasis on your future.

You can't value others until you value yourself.
