When it comes to advancing our careers, sometimes we all could use a little help. Pro tips from experts in the field are sometimes exactly what we need to get up and try our best. Check out the following list of 10 career quotes to channel your inner boss lady.

Tina Fey
"This is what I tell young women who ask me for career advice. People are going to try to trick you. To make you feel that you are in competition with one another. You're up for a promotion. If they go for a woman, it'll be between you and Barbara. Don't be fooled. You're not in competition with other women. You're in competition with everyone."

Tina's book, Bossy Pants, is full of great career quotes.

Cheryl Strayed

Kathleen Hanna
"Sit down and ask yourself, 'What is the most important thing to me? What grosses me out the most? What makes me the most upset - is it health care? Is it so many people being hungry in our culture? Is it sexual abuse?' Mix that with doing something you love, something you could keep doing forever and ever. For me, it was ending violence against women, and I mixed it with music. And I've had a 25-year career. So that's my advice: Find something you really care about and mix that with something you love doing."

"If you try in whatever ways you can to brighten someone's day, to be fair and respectful to everyone, and to grow your network without being "networky", you will be a rockstar. Have a plan, but be willing to deviate from it if awesome opportunities arise. While it's important to think about your future and what you want to be doing in five years, don't let that plan be so concrete that you ignore opportunities around you."
