<p class="START-UP_StartUp---Body- ParaOverride-1">Four years ago, Val Weisler could barely speak. Now, at 19, she’s the CEO of a global empowerment movement called <a href="https://www.thevalidationproject.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Validation Project</a>.</p>
<p class="START-UP_StartUp---Body-">“When I was in high school, I was bullied pretty badly because I was shy, almost to the point of being mute,” she says. “One day I saw another kid who was being bullied and I told him he mattered. And we could walk down the hallway together to get through this.” Weisler had an idea: She could be a resource, encouraging other vulnerable kids and telling them they matter, too.</p>
<p class="START-UP_StartUp---Body- rtecenter"><img class="media-image attr__typeof__foaf:Image img__fid__36372 img__view_mode__default" style="width: 100%;" src="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/legacy/sites/default/files/youmatter_2.jpg" alt="3 Tips for Making Others Feel Important" />
<span style="font-size: 9px; text-align: center;">THE VALIDATION PROJECT</span></p>
<p class="START-UP_StartUp---Body-">She built a website where bullied classmates could ask for company at the lunch table. Soon, teenagers from nearby schools also began emailing, then schools on the other side of the country and even the world. “It went from this little anti-bullying idea into this international movement,” she says.</p>

<p class="START-UP_StartUp---Body-">While the teenagers’ struggles varied, one thing they all had in common was that <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/how-to-find-your-passion">they had passions</a>. The Validation Project quickly evolved. “We would validate their worth first and then give them resources to use their skills to solve issues on a global level,” Weisler says.</p>
<p class="START-UP_StartUp---Body-">When teenagers reach out to The Validation Project, Weisler asks them what skills or aspirations they have that make them feel good about themselves. She then contacts an adult in the teen’s community with similar skills and asks if the adult would <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/7-ways-to-be-the-best-mentor-ever">serve as a mentor</a>. For example, if a teen loves to cook, Weisler would ask a nearby chef to mentor the teen after school. After interning with this adult for two months, the teen would volunteer his or her skills to help solve another problem in the community, such as visiting a homeless shelter and renovating the menu.</p>
<p class="START-UP_StartUp---Body-">The Validation Project has worked with 6,000 teenagers in 105 countries. The organization has 3,000 adult volunteer mentors, ranging from Google software engineers to football players.</p>
<p class="START-UP_StartUp---Body-">Weisler’s tips for validating others:</p>

<ol>
 	<li class="START-UP_StartUp---Body- ParaOverride-17"><span class="CharOverride-55">When you notice someone is down, don’t immediately tell the person <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/10-simple-steps-to-a-happier-you">why he or she should be happy</a>. Sometimes all someone needs is a person to sit in their sadness with them.</span></li>
 	<li class="START-UP_StartUp---Body- ParaOverride-17"><a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/how-to-be-more-empathetic-in-conversations"><span class="CharOverride-55">Make them know their feelings are valid.</span></a></li>
 	<li class="START-UP_StartUp---Body- ParaOverride-17"><span class="CharOverride-55">Then validate: Make some tea, ask the person to go see a movie with you, or tell him or her what you love about them.</span></li>

Stratos Card (reserve one for $95), one of a half-dozen electronic credit cards about to hit the market, stores all of your credit, debit, gift and rewards card information in a rectangular package. (You can alternate payment methods from within its smartphone app.) When you’re ready to pay, just tap the card against a counter to awaken it for a swipe.</p><p>[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"30943","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"350","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"480"}}]]</p></div><div id="_idContainer030"><h3><strong>Zagg Pocket Keyboard</strong></h3><p><strong>(<a href="https://www.zagg.com/us/en_us/keyboards/pocket-foldable-keyboard" target="_blank" title="Zagg Pocket Keyboard | Zagg.com">Zagg.com</a>)</strong></p><p>Leaving your laptop at home while you’re on the road is risky; no matter how hard you try to avoid work, you undoubtedly will be forced to type a long memo on your phone. The universal Zagg Pocket Keyboard ($69.99) makes traveling light a safer bet. The 7-ounce keyboard/stand combo fits most smartphones and small tablets, and it’s 85 percent of the size of a traditional desktop keyboard, making it much more comfortable to use than your phone’s touch screen. When you’re finished, you can fold the keyboard into a pocket-size package.</p><p>[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"30944","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"350","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"480"}}]]</p></div><div id="_idContainer031"><h3><strong>Apple Watch</strong></h3><p><strong>(<a href="https://www.apple.com/watch/" target="_blank" title="Apple Watch | Apple.com">Apple.com/watch</a>)</strong></p><p>The most anticipated smartwatch since—well, ever—is here. The Apple Watch (starting at $349) combines the functionality and usability of iOS with the novelty of an activity tracker and heart-rate monitor. Siri is still here, and you’ll find yourself talking to her more often than usual because the watch has neither a web browser nor a keyboard. Using the touch-screen, you can respond to texts (through verbal dictation), make phone calls and ensure that you never again miss a meeting—the computer will lightly “tap” your wrist when you receive a new notification.&nbsp;</p><p>[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"30946","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"350","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"480"}}]]</p><div id="_idContainer035"><h3><strong>Automatic</strong></h3><p><strong>(<a href="https://www.automatic.com/how-automatic-works/" target="_blank" title="Automatic | Automatic.com">Automatic.com</a>)</strong></p><p>Whether you’re a car geek or an expense-report wonk, you should keep tabs on what’s going on under your hood. The Automatic system wirelessly connects your vehicle to your phone so you can monitor everything from your engine codes to your driving habits. Simply plug the Automatic dongle ($99.95) into your car’s diagnostics port (the same one that mechanics use to figure out why your “check engine” light came on), and it immediately beams all of your car’s status and location data to the cloud. You can also use it to locate your car in big parking lots.</p><p>[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"30945","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"350","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"480"}}]]</p></div><div id="_idContainer036"><div id="_idContainer041"><div id="_idContainer046"><h3><strong>Logitech MX Master</strong></h3><p><strong>(<a href="https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/mx-master?crid=7" target="_blank" title="Logitech MX Master | Logitech.com">Logitech.com</a>)</strong></p><p>Computer mice are two-trick ponies: They scroll and click—and that’s it. Logitech’s MX Master wireless computer mouse ($99.99), however, is about as impressive as a Triple Crown-winning thoroughbred. In addition to scrolling and clicking, this ergonomically designed mouse has a thumb rest and a thumb wheel that let you scroll horizontally across the screen. The thumb rest also comes with its own button, which you can hold down to perform “hot corner” gestures such as rolling over between apps or returning to the desktop. &nbsp;</p><p>[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"30942","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"350","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"480"}}]]</p><h3><strong>PowerPole</strong></h3><p><strong>(<a href="https://polarprofilters.com/shop/power-pole" target="_blank" title="PowerPole | PolarProFilters.com">PolarProFilters.com</a>)</strong></p><p>Using a selfie stick is about as obnoxious as listening to music on the train without headphones. But one place we will give selfie sticks a pass is during extreme sports. The battery-integrated aluminum PowerPole ($99.99) is designed for use with a GoPro camera and extends the camera’s battery life for up to eight hours. Stretch the telescoping pole up to 30 inches to capture wide-angle photos and videos of yourself snowboarding, parasailing or even just standing in front of a cool building.</p><p>[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"30947","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"350","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"480"}}]]</p><h3><strong>PowerBeats²&nbsp;By Dre</strong></h3><p><strong>(<a href="https://www.beatsbydre.com/earphone/beats-powerbeats2.html" target="_blank" title="PowerBeats² by Dre | BeatsByDre.com">BeatsByDre.com</a>)</strong></p><p>Enjoy the same sound quality from your flashy Beats By Dre headphones in a tiny, sweat-resistant package. PowerBeats2 By Dre wireless earbuds ($199.95) are designed for athletes: The buds hook over your ears, so they’re less likely to fall out during activities. While the fit and bass are good, PowerBeats2 also have enough room around the earpieces for ambient sound to seep in, which makes listening to music while exercising outdoors much safer.</p></div></div></div></div>

This “telepresence” two-wheeled machine ($2,499) from Double Robotics is basically a roving iPad dock. Videoconference into the iPad, and the robot can roll you around the office as if you’re really there. Conduct walking meetings or inspections, or just casually roam around, peeping at your employees’ computer screens over their shoulders.</p><p>[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"30802","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"350","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"480"}}]]</p></div><div><h3><strong>Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920</strong></h3><p><strong>(<a href="https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/hd-pro-webcam-c920" target="_blank" title="Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 | Logitech.com">Logitech.com</a>)</strong></p><p>If you’re serious about videoconferencing, you need to upgrade from the cloudy camera that’s embedded in your laptop monitor. The Logitech Pro Webcam C920 ($99.99) streams such clear, full-high-definition video that your colleague will be able to see the mustard stain on your shirt during your Skype call. That’s not such a great feature if it’s first thing in the morning and you have bags under your eyes, but it’s perfect for when you need to hold up text or photos; the camera sharply focuses in on images as close as 10 centimeters from the lens. The webcam can also be used as—surprise!—a video camera and can be mounted to a tripod. Use it to record widescreen, professional-quality movies for your company’s YouTube channel or to document your trips.</p><p>[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"30803","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"350","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"480"}}]]</p><h3><strong>Jawbone Era</strong></h3><p><strong>(<a href="https://jawbone.com/store/buy/era" target="_blank" title="Jawbone Era | Jawbone.com">Jawbone.com</a>)</strong></p><p>Bluetooth headsets are today’s pocket protectors: Wear one, and you’re automatically a dork. Jawbone is trying to change that perception with its Era headset ($129.99); its sleek and shiny design is only about as obtrusive as a hair barrette. The wireless headset features military-grade noise cancellation, so you could take a call from the middle of Grand Central Terminal and still hear over the background noise. But Bluetooth isn’t just for phone calls anymore. Wear Era while biking and ask Siri for real-time directions, listen to a podcast while grocery shopping, or even make audio to-do lists while running on the treadmill.</p><p>[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"30804","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"350","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"480"}}]]</p><h3><strong>Kensington PresentAir Pro Bluetooth 4.0 LE Presenter</strong></h3><p><strong>(<a href="https://www.kensington.com/us/hk/4492/k72448us/presentair-pro%E2%84%A2-bluetooth%C2%AE-4-0-le-presenter-%E2%80%94-black#.VZ76dflVhBc" target="_blank" title="PresentAir Pro Bluetooth 4.0 LE Presenter | Kensington.com">Kensington.com</a>)</strong></p><p>You’ve heard of an outfit going from work to evening—but a laser pointer? Kensington’s PresentAir Pro Bluetooth wireless presenter ($59.99) has so many features you can get just as much done in your hotel room as in the office. Use the red laser pointer to click between PowerPoint slides during a presentation, as a stylus for your tablet to edit text and adjust your computer settings, or as a remote control to queue up your favorite Netflix show and adjust its volume.</p><p>[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"30807","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","style":"width: 480px; height: 350px;","typeof":"foaf:Image"}}]]</p><div><div><h3><strong>Adobe Connect</strong></h3><h3><strong>(<a href="https://www.adobe.com/products/adobeconnect.html" target="_blank" title="Adobe Connect | Adobe.com">Adobe.com</a>)</strong></h3><p>Adobe’s web-conferencing software, Connect (starting at $45 per month), has all of the functionality you’d expect from the company that makes Photoshop. Connect allows 100 &nbsp;people—on PCs, tablets or phones—to interact in a webinar or training session at one time: They can share animations, annotate text and even access one another’s desktops (with permission). Plus the program records and archives everything that happens on the screen. When you play it back, you can actually interact with the multimedia—click on the links and copy text. Think this could become a part of your business? Time to add your personalized meeting-room URL to your business card.&nbsp;</p><p>[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"30806","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"350","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"480"}}]]</p><div><h3><strong>D-Link WiFi AC750 Portable Router and Charger</strong></h3><p><strong>(<a href="https://us.dlink.com/products/connect/wi-fi-ac750-portable-router-and-charger-3/" target="_blank" title="D-Link WiFi AC750 Portable Router and Charger | Dlink.com">Dlink.com</a>)</strong></p><p>Most portable Wi-Fi hotspots are compatible with only a single phone carrier such as Verizon or AT&amp;T. D-Link’s AC750 travel router and charger ($99.99) can connect to devices on any network, letting them share Wi-Fi or even 3G/4G LTE connections. This comes in handy at hotels that charge you for Internet usage per digital device. The router also acts as a mobile charger for your phones and tablets, giving you an additional sense of power security. Its built-in USB ports allow you to share files locally from a USB drive to anything within range.</p></div></div></div></div>

Not every broken system can be fixed. That’s what maverick entrepreneurs like <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/2012-success-achiever-of-the-year-elon-musk" target="_blank" title="2012 SUCCESS Achiever of the Year: Elon Musk | SUCCESS.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">Elon Musk</a> and <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/the-facebook-age-mark-zuckerberg" target="_blank" title="The Facebook Age: Mark Zuckerberg | SUCCESS.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mark Zuckerberg</a> know, and that’s why instead of trying to make incremental changes to their monolithic industries, they disrupted them with groundbreaking companies like Tesla Motors and Facebook.

You, too, can make your own rules, disrupt your career and life course, and smash the status quo in a positive way. Here are seven tips from seven people who did just that and succeeded big time:

<strong>1. Bend but don’t break.</strong>

Travis Kalanick, co-founder and CEO of the car service <a href="https://www.uber.com/about" target="_blank" title="About Uber | Uber.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">Uber</a>, has gotten hostile reactions to his company since he unveiled it.

Just four months after announcing Uber with co-founder Garrett Camp, he got his first cease-and-desist letter. As Uber spread around the country and then the world, those protests even turned violent. In Paris, for example, taxi drivers, upset because they could be put out of business, slashed Uber cars’ tires and smashed their windshields.

But Kalanick stood his ground by using a tactic he called principled confrontation to get taxi drivers to explain their reactions. Some called his strategy ruthless, and only now that Uber is a global phenomenon is Kalanick ready to make a few concessions.

“We need to invest in internal growth and change,” he says. “Acknowledging mistakes and learning from them are the first steps.”

<strong>2. Have a mission.</strong>

Elizabeth Holmes, the founder and CEO of the health-tech company <a href="https://www.theranos.com/company" target="_blank" title="Company | Theranos.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">Theranos</a>, grew up around charitable causes.

Her father worked in disaster relief, which inspired Holmes while she was still in college to come up with a novel blood-testing device to help people in need. She dropped out of Stanford and founded her startup at only 19.

“You’ve got to have a mission,” she says. And she believes access to health information is a basic human right. “There’s got to be a reason that you’re doing it; that no matter how hard it is, you want to keep doing it over and over and over again. … I really believe that building a business is a vehicle for making a change in the world.”

Fun fact: Holmes isAmerica’s youngest female billionaire.

<strong>3. Go nontraditional. </strong>

Brian Chesky, co-founder and CEO of <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/about/about-us" target="_blank" title="About Us | Airbnb.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">Airbnb</a>, was an artist, not a businessman, when he came up with the model for his rent-a-room company.

He even mapped out Airbnb’s user experience on storyboards&nbsp;à la Walt Disney. It was creative to be sure, but not everyone was a fan. “[Venture capitalists] didn’t think a designer could build and run a company,” he says. “They were straight up about it.” One even walked out on his pitch meeting.

But Chesky stayed true to himself, never resorting to traditional cutthroat tactics. “For us to win, people don’t have to lose,” he says.

And win he did: Due to his nontraditional approach to the sharing economy, Airbnb now has nearly 1 million accommodation listings, and Chesky has a $1.9 billion net worth.

<strong>4. Stay fresh. </strong>

Ted Waitt, co-founder of the computer hardware company <a href="https://us.gateway.com/gw/en/US/content/company-background" target="_blank" title="Company Background | Gateway.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gateway</a>, says it’s easy to be passionate when you’re starting out. But when you hit those inevitable roadblocks, discouragement can set in.

He recommends actively working to keep your energy high even when you’re feeling drained from running a company. “Physically, emotionally, spiritually, it taxed me on every level,” Waitt said recently at a tech summit. “Just to keep that energy up is really important. You’ve got to stay healthy, stay focused, and you just can’t give up.

“And at the end of the day, you can’t take things too seriously because you have to bring life into the organization. Don’t be afraid to take a mini break every now and then to keep yourself fresh.”

<strong>5. Do it — or stop talking about it.</strong>

Ben Silbermann, co-founder of the social network <a href="https://about.pinterest.com/en" target="_blank" title="About Pinterest | Pinterest.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pinterest</a>, had worked on various startups around the country when he got the itch to make his own product.

But he had a full-time job and knew he couldn’t build it on the side. “I thought it was a really exciting thing to do, but it always stalled,” he said at a recent speech at Stanford. “I always had an excuse for why it stalled: It wasn’t the right market, I needed to learn more, and it wasn’t the right timing. But actually the dependent variable was just me. I never actually committed and put myself in a situation where I had to make it work.”

His girlfriend gave him the wake-up call he needed. At dinner one night, she told him that he should just do it or stop talking about it. “It was a little bit harsh,” he says. “But honestly it was the best thing someone could have told me.”

Silbermann quit his job at Google in 2008 and co-founded Pinterest two years later. Today the company is valued at more than $11 billion.

<strong>6. Maintain your wonder.</strong>

Nanxi Liu founded <a href="https://www.nanoly.info/what-we-do.html" target="_blank" title="What We Do | Nanoly.info" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nanoly Bioscience</a>, which is creating a way to store vaccines without refrigeration, and is CEO of Enplug, a digital signage company.

“Most [successful entrepreneurs] don’t start out as 5-year-olds who say ‘I’m starting a business that’s going to disrupt,’” she says. “A lot of us have a personality where we say we’re just going to do it, and we may fail, but that’s OK. It’s almost like an innocence of not worrying what are the consequences of what happens after.”

Liu was not a biotech expert when she started her biotech company —although she found a co-founder who was. She also wasn’t a software expert when she became CEO of a tech company. “What’s different [about disrupters] is that we’re not afraid to take that risk,” she says.

<strong>7. Use your doubts for fuel. </strong>

Tony Fadell, founder and CEO of home automation company <a href="https://nest.com/about/" target="_blank" title="About us | Nest.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nest</a>, says that a little doubt is healthy.

“You can get this emotional momentum spun up, and everyone is rah-rah,” he says. “But you have to have a little bit of doubt inside because that means that you’re really pushing the edge.”

Fadell’s company has reinvented home devices that no one ever thought needed to be reinvented, like thermostats and smoke detectors.

“If it’s all so easy, it’s like wait a second, what am I not looking at?” he says. “What risks are unforeseen that I have to dig deeper on?”

<a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/article/theyre-moving-fast-and-breaking-things" target="_self" title="They’re Moving Fast and Breaking Things | SUCCESS.com" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>They came. They saw. They started a revolution. Who? The founders of Uber, Airbnb and Theranos, who are all featured on the August 2015 cover of <em>SUCCESS </em>magazine, on newsstands July 14.</strong></a>
