Lauren is a full-stack marketer who's been featured on Business Insider, Entrepreneur, The Muse and more. You can find her on Twitter, Medium, or you can subscribe to her email newsletter. Here's her business advice for millennials who want to start a business for the first time:
"The biggest mistake new entrepreneurs make is banking on an idea that isn't valuable to anyone with actual, real-world problems."
"You read about this new social media tool or this new game or social app. And it's like: What happened to solving REAL, big, hairy problems as opposed to helping privileged kids send pictures that explode in a day (sorry, Snapchat - first example I thought of)?"
"Spend time with people who are different than you, it'll open your mind." @laurenholliday_
"My advice is to spend time with people who are different than you. This will open up your mind to different people and different problems, allowing you to connect the dots faster and make a real contribution to the world, as opposed to just being the next Mark Zuck."
