You kind of get the same adjectives coming back over again and over again describing millennials. I think the national rhetoric around this generation is unfairly negative.

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

I really believe that cultivating creativity, as a general principle, is about managing your energy.

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.

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.

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.

One of the biggest questions that we hear from young graduates is, 'I'm not even sure where to start because I'm not quite sure who I want to be yet.'

The busier you get, and the more forward-looking you become, the more difficult it is to actually acknowledge and gain strength and inspiration from the things you've already accomplished, which can become problematic when you're in a startup.
