Simply great Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I just started using this add-on. It it simple and works simply great. With it, I can open two (or more) firefox windows, each based on a different user profile. I have some ideas for this. I'm going to create different user profiles, each with different add-ons and scrapbook/bookmark contents and use them to do different types of searches and store different types of content. Thank you so much Paolo "Kaosmos."This review is for a previous version of the add-on (220.127.116.11.1-signed).

BERKELEY, CALIF., -- The Oregon Ducks hold a 24-10 at halftime over the California Golden Bears. The Ducks survived a big scare near the end of the second quarter when quarterback Marcus Mariota went to the bench with what appeared to be a wrist injury. However, the red-shirt freshman signal caller came back in to lead a 69-yard yard drive for a touchdown hitting Josh Huff on a 10-yard score.

Hi Fellow Trip Advisors,
Been scouring the internet for information about getting about in Batam by cab but wasn't successful in finding reliable info.

Your kind assistance will certainly go a looonnggg way for me. Thank you!

John Goodman to Appear on CBS SUNDAY MORNING's 'Eat, Drink, and be Merry' Special, 11/18
Actor John Goodman loves his adopted hometown of New Orleans because there's something special about the city, he says in an interview on "Eat, Drink and Be Merry," the food-themed edition of CBS SUNDAY MORNING WITH Charles Osgood to be broadcast Nov. 18, 2012 (9:00 AM, ET) on the CBS Television Network.
"There was just something about the place," Goodman tells Michelle Miller. "The air carries music. The air carries the aroma of food. You smell the river. You can smell the sea. I don't know, it's ooh la la."
Goodman takes Miller to the famed Commander's Palace in New Orleans, one of his favorite spots, which just happens to be three blocks from his house. There he talks about some of his latest roles, his family and giving up alcohol five years ago.
"If I don't pick up that first drink, I'm fine," he says. "Let the demons chase me, and they can knock all they want. I'm not home."
Goodman says he's learning what the important things are in life, "which are petting my dogs, saying hi to my wife, looking at this beautiful city. Little things that I just missed or I just slept through for 30 years."
He's married to Anna Beth Hartzog and they have a 22-year-old daughter, Molly, an aspiring filmmaker. Asked if he's been a good father, Goodman says the jury is still out. "I could have been a lot better, let's put it that way," he says. "But the way things look now, I don't think I did too much damage."
Miller's full interview with Goodman will be broadcast Nov. 18 on CBS SUNDAY MORNING WITH Charles Osgood (9:00 AM, ET) on the CBS Television Network. Rand Morrison is the executive producer.

Hone your Phone Skills to Increase your Contact Base
by Janice Tester, CaPS Career Advisor
Are you apprehensive of making a phone call to an employer to enquire about job opportunities? If so, you are not alone - a lot of people are. Here is some information and tips about cold calling and information interviewing.
What is a cold call and why should I do it?
- Cold calling is making direct contact with potential employers who do not know you.
- Cold calling can help you conduct company research and learn about job leads.
- Cold calling is one of the most effective ways of uncovering the hidden job market.
- It will help you to expand your contact base and increase the chances of finding a job.
- It is a way of selling yourself or letting employers know of your qualifications and skills.
- Cold calling will help you set up information interviews and network within your field of interest.
What is an information interview?
An information interview is a meeting between two people: someone who wishes to learn more about a particular career and someone who works in that career field. It is not about getting a job from your interviewee; it is about getting to know people in the career you are researching and targeting.
Who should do information interviews?
- Students in their first years of studies to seek out information about their major and how it might lead to specific kinds of careers.
- Students fully immersed in their majors looking for information on internships.
- Senior students searching for information on particular organizations or careers.
- Alumni looking to change careers or jobs.
Whom should I conduct an information interview with?
Interview people whose perspectives will help you make decisions about the career path you wish to take. There are two ways to go about finding interviewees:
- The connections approach: Start by connecting with your primary contacts. These include your family, friends, peers, professors, co-workers, previous employers, alumni, and anyone you can think of. You might find potential interviewees among your primary contracts. But what is more likely is that your network will know of a potential interviewee or know of someone who knows a potential interviewee.
- The cold calling approach: This techniques involves you choosing a relevant company/organization and contacting a person in a position that interests you. Usually, you can find names easily on the company's website. However, if that does not work, call the main switchboard of the organization and ask, for example, the name and extension number of the head of marketing.
What do you ask at an information interview?
You can prepare a set of questions from the list below and add more that are relevant to you and the career in question. Here are some samples of questions:
- What do you do on a typical day in your job?
- What do you enjoy the most about your job? The least?
- What has your career progression been like to date?
- What are the future prospects in this field?
- How did you get this job?
- What are the entry jobs like?
- Is there a demand for people in jobs like yours?
- If you could do things all over again, would you choose the same path for yourself and why?
- What advice would you have like to have heard when you were starting out?
- What other fields or jobs would you suggest that I research further before making a final decision?
- Who would you recommend that I should talk to next? When I call them, may I use your name?
What can you say on a cold call?
Your phone call can sound something like this, but you can definitely adapt this script to fit your style:
Switchboard: Good morning.
Yourself: Hello, could you please tell me the name of your junior/senior _________________?
Switchboard: Certainly, his/her name is ____________________.
Yourself: Thank you. (Could you spell that for me.) Would you please connect my call to his/her office?
Secretary: Good morning. _________________'s office.
Yourself: Yes, may I speak with ___________________ please?
Secretary: May I ask what it is regarding?
Yourself: Yes. My name is ________________________ and I am a student graduating from McGill. I am conducting some research in the field of ____________________. I understand Mr/Ms.___________________ might have some of the information I am looking for.
Secretary: Fine. I'll put you through.
Mr./Ms.______: ________________ speaking.
Yourself: Good morning, Mr./Ms. _________________. My name is _______________ and I am graduating from McGill. I am interested in pursuing a career in _________________. At this point I'm trying to find out as much about the field as I can before making any definite career decisions. Would it be possible to arrange an appointment with you to talk about your career in __________________?
Mr./Ms.______: Yes certainly…
What if the secretary/receptionist blocks me?
Their job is to transfer the calls to the best person to handle the call. Therefore, they might ask what your phone call is regarding. In order to prevent them from blocking you, you can say:
- I am seeking to obtain their professional advice.
- I have information to give them.
- Prepare a technical question that cannot be easily answered on their website.
Any other tips on cold calling?
- Sit up straight when you speak and smile. As a result, your tone will be more positive - something people can sense in a few seconds.
- Practice, practice, practice. Ask a friend to play the potential employer. Repeat the script until it sounds natural.
- Say your full name carefully and enunciate clearly so they can remember it.
- Refer to the person by name and err on the side of formality. Use "Mr" or "Ms" instead of their first name.
- Be thankful and polite including to the receptionist and secretary.
- You may ask: "Am I catching you at a good time?" This will demonstrate you respect their time.
- Let them know you are seeking for advice and information - not a job from them.
- Take notes of what is being said for future reference using a pen instead of typing on the computer (the noise is distracting).
In conclusion, cold calling is a creative way of expanding your network, making new contacts, and building new relations. Prepare and you will succeed. Trust that you will get an interesting job through the art of networking and let the process unfold!
Taking a Year (or More!) Off After Graduation – Why Grad School Is Not the Only Option!
by Jan Bottomer, CaPS Music and Arts Career Advisor
As the McGill community gears up for the annual Spring Convocation the question of what to do next likely looms large in the minds of new grads. Many of you may be wondering about graduate school, others planning on jumping into your career immediately. Still others may be unsure of what to do next and looking to take at least a year or two off to figure things out.
There are all sorts of positive reasons to pursue graduate or professional school following your undergraduate degree. The training might be compulsory or advantageous in obtaining the kind of job or career you want. You might find your subject area so fascinating that you're "not done" with it and want to keep studying, researching and learning in your field. You might want to work in a particular lab or department with a particular professor, maybe at a specific school, in a specific country or language. The degree itself and/or the title and status it confers may have particular personal resonance for you. You may find yourself relating to the above reasons or have others of your own, but the key is to have a reason, to know what you're looking for from the program and where you hope it will lead you, and then to check out those assumptions by doing your research thoroughly.
Graduate and professional training programs are wonderful, door-opening options for some, but they require a substantial commitment of time, money and energy on your part, and represent several years of lost potential earnings. Thus, before you make this commitment you want to be sure both that you're spending the above resources in the right place, and that you actually want to be there. After all, your time and your energy constitute your life! Unless you have unlimited time and money at your disposal, think again before you head directly to graduate school because "everyone else is going," you "don't know what else to do" or you'll "never be able to get a job with just an undergraduate degree."
If this sounds familiar, consider taking a year (or more!) "off" after graduation, to work, travel, volunteer, do an internship, job shadow, learn a new language, try new things…the options are many and varied but the goal is to give yourself the time and experiences to help clarify who you are, what you're good at, what you want out of life and what you have to give. Especially if the academic environment is all you've ever known, it can be challenging to decide on your next direction. Time away from school can provide a much needed break from the academic routine and allow you to try out and investigate different career interests and options first-hand, by gaining direct experience in the industry or with the population you're considering working with. You'll learn about how the world functions outside of academia, and, if you do return to graduate school, this new knowledge will allow you to do so rejuvenated and replenished with new motivation and perspectives to share. Time "off" can also provide you with the time to follow a long-cherished personal dream…of travelling, living overseas, learning a new skill or a new language…time that's often much easier to come by when you're young and relatively free to follow your own individual passions and goals than later when you're settled into a career, have family responsibilities etc. And last but not least, time away from academia can also help you to focus your goals and interests so that you have a much clearer idea of what you'd like to study if you do eventually decide to enter a graduate program.
But won't taking time off look bad when I do apply to graduate school? What if I lose my momentum and never go back to school? What will my parents think? And I can't possibly do anything useful with just a bachelor's degree can I?
Hopefully it is already quite clear that when I talk about "taking time off" I'm not referring to quality time spent watching TV on your parents' couch. Work, to gain experience, to become financially independent and/or pay off loans, to save up money to travel or all of the above! Travel. Do an internship at an organization or in a field that you're considering entering. Volunteer for your local literacy organization or on an environmental project. Teach English in Eastern Europe. Backpack around South East Asia. Start your own business. Join the Peace Corps. Take a language course in another country. Do a combination of these things…work full-time and volunteer for a few hours a week. Do a part-time internship and take a language course. Learn a new skill. Work as much as you can for the next year, then take off to travel for a few months. Yes, of course "time off" looks bad if you haven't done anything with the time. The challenge is to figure out what you'd like to try and explore, then to articulate your plan and your motivation to yourself and others, including your parents! Plus, while strictly research grad programs may be harder to get back into if you've spent many years away from the field and subject, many professional programs practically require you to take a year or more off in order to fulfill work experience requirements. And, remember that while you are immersed in academe it feels like grad school is the only viable route to a good job and everyone is going, the picture in the outside world is quite different. Education definitely counts but real world experience goes a long way too!
The period immediately following graduation is both an exciting and tumultuous time for new grads. Take some time to savour your achievement and the accompanying celebrations, but also to consider what you've learned about yourself in the past three or four years – experiences you've had, skills you've developed, and interests you've pursued. It's not necessary (and awfully stressful!) to "figure out your entire life" at this point, but you do need to be asking yourself some of the big questions around who you are, the kind of person you'd like to become and the areas/industries/careers/tasks you'd like to try out and explore in the near future. If you have questions about any of the points raised in this article, if you need practical information and resources about work, careers, volunteering etc., and if you if you feel you would benefit from sitting down and discussing some of your ideas, dreams and plans with a career advisor, remember that CaPS is here to help you with these questions and more. We are open all summer long and as a new grad you have access to all of our services for up to a year for free, so come pay us a visit!

What You Need to do NOW in Today's Job Market
by Catherine Stace, CaPS Career Advisor
You are about to graduate and the job market has taken a nose dive. What can you do to make your application stand out when so many people will be applying for the same jobs? Employers who are hiring are looking for someone who has the competencies they need and can also produce an error free and targeted application.
Let's break the myth about jobs in today's market. There are available jobs out there. The competition might be more intense so you have to work a little harder to get that job! In April myFuture has upwards of 400 positions posted in less then one month. 25% of those positions the employers did not ask for a specific degree, they asked for a certain level of education and skills that are relevant to the position (Fig. 1).
Start at the beginning with a self-assessment. Can you answer these questions? Who are you? What can you do? What do you like to do? What are you good at? What are your hard and soft skills? This will help you highlight what you can do for an employer on your CV.
The next step is to start researching employers. You are looking for employers that hire someone with your skill set, whose products or services interest you. What competencies does this organization need from an employee? This is going to help you target your CV, cover letter and prepare you for the interview.
Walk away from your computer. You need to network. Professional networking sites (such as LinkedIn) can be a great tool but you still need to speak to people in person. You want to talk to people who work in an area that interest you subsequently you can ask them questions about the work environment, sector outlook, and what competencies are required. Now more than ever you need to create a network that will help you break into the hidden job market.
Create a great application! With the information you have gathered target your CV and cover letter. Have your CV and cover letter checked by another set of eyes – employers will dismiss an application with typos and poor grammar! CaPS offer CV Drop-in daily or you can make an appointment with a Career Advisor to go over your application.
Take some time to practice your interview skills. Now that you have conducted a self-assessment and researched the employer you need to be able to communicate to the employer, during your interview, what skills you have and show that you are the right fit for that position. In order to prepare take some time attend an interview workshop or book a mock interview with a CaPS Career Advisor.
Be flexible. Employers might be offering only part-time positions to begin with. Do you have financial constraints that make working only part-time hard? Consider taking more than one part-time position. You will develop a wider range of experience and expand your network for future work.
The best method to take when approaching the job market is to be prepared. CaPS offer a variety of Career Development Workshops including, Researching Employers, Networking, CV and cover letter writing and Interview skills that will help prepare you.

- Communication Specialist: Web and Digital Media – Although the majors requested are: Computer, Marketing, Public Relations and the title may not speak to most Arts students directly, there is overlap with some Arts programmes
- Project Leader - Anthropology, International Development Studies, Environment & Natural Resource is another example of cross disciplines from different departments.
WORKING AS A TELEMARKETER? Beware! You may be engaging in criminal deceptive telemarketing
submitted by the Competition Bureau
Each year, students are hired as telemarketers. Telemarketing is a legitimate and important industry in Canada. However, some companies engage in fraudulent or deceptive telemarketing. Those engaged in this sort of telemarketing, including recently hired students, could be liable to criminal charges under both the Competition Act and the Criminal Code. Those convicted can face significant fines and jail terms of up to 14 years.
Top 10 Clues of Deceptive Telemarketing Operations:
- You have problems getting paid or receiving commissions, or you are getting paid in cash.
- There seems to be a high number of customers who are upset with their dealings with the company.
- The customers are referred to as "Mooches" or "Suckers."
- The sales pitches do not state very early on in the call, the purpose of the call and what is being sold.
- The pitches give the impression that customers have already agreed to make a purchase, or lead customers to believe their regular supplier is contacting them.
- There is no company name at the door.
- The company changes name often.
- There is a short second call whose only purpose is to record the customer's agreement to make a purchase.
- There is a specialized group of higher paid telemarketers that work separately from the rest and whose pitches to consumers are even more deceptive and aggressive.
- The customer service department, if it exists, does not receive in-bound calls.
Why Avoid Working for Deceptive Telemarketing Operations?
- Could lead to a criminal record;
- Could result in jail time and fine; or
- May have difficulty finding rewarding employment in the future.

while I know typical SOAP request will need to have the POST header, envelope, header, body etc. So I'm wondering what to do with the given xml above? do I wrap the xml in the SOAP request, or upload the xml or what?

You could convert it to WSDL format, then build your server and client(s) around that.
If the clients cannot change the XML format, then you may have to wrap in CDATA,
and unmarshall yourself using jaxb or something.
It all depends on the restrictions enforced by your application infrastructure.

I wish to make the client to be web based, should I do this with top down or bottom up approach? or it doesn't matter? both works just fine? I also wish to use apache axis2 or cxf. which is more recommended?
I created the service server using dynamic web project with bottom up approach (eclipse indigo and axis2). Right now, there's only one class (MyService.java) containing one public method:
public String doIt(){ return "abc"; }
1. how do I create the web-based client? do I make a separate project? if so, what's the type of the project?
, javaEE, dynamic web?
2. also as I mentioned above, the soap request will contain the xml that will be most likely to later be parsed into a
object. I assume that the POJO definition will be in the web service server project?
3. what's the naming convention for the classes and packages in web service project (both the server and client project)?

Hard News: How about that cricket, eh?, in reply to
Some people seem to object very strongly to to the one-more-playe- in-the-circle thing, but it actually incentivises the taking of wickets as the best way to keep the runs down, which seems like a good thing.
Yes, and McCullum seems to understand the new rules very well. We may not win the World Cup, as strategy is only one factor and won't guarantee a victory, but McCullum has been the best captain of the tournament. And yes the new rules are a good thing; after all, how entertaining has this World Cup been?
Hard News: How about that cricket, eh?, in reply to
I could understand the part when the referees where checking to see if the ball had hit the camera wire. Is it not actualy a catch, if the ball touches an obstacle, without exception? what if the ball hits the Tellevision drone?
It did strike me as strange in that if the ball had clipped the wire it would only have been a more difficult catch to take. But I can see a rationale for for ruling it a "dead ball", as Steve H indicated would likely be the case.
Speaker: Compulsory voting and election turnout, in reply to
Can't we just be pragmatic about this too?
That's precisely what I was trying to do.
No, I meant about some prisoners not being able to vote. Your challenge to me was "where do we draw the line?"
Well, why not at a certain length of sentence, or certain types of convictions , or some combination of both?
It's arbitrary, yes, but it has a rationale, and that rationale is pragmatism…
Speaker: Compulsory voting and election turnout, in reply to
Like what? Where do we draw the line?
Where do we draw the line in terms of voting age? Can't we just be pragmatic about this too?
Speaker: Compulsory voting and election turnout, in reply to
Chris, about go to bed (i.e. fall asleep at keyboard), but short answer for now - do you think Anders Breivik should be able to vote?
Speaker: Compulsory voting and election turnout, in reply to
"Why 16, and why only prisoners rather than all disqualified persons?"
The idea of lowering the voting age to 16 was in the news recentishly, and then there's the Scotland referendum on independence, in which 16-year-olds could vote.
I think we should lower the voting age – as I said above, this is their society too. And many 16 and 17 year olds are as capable of making informed decisions as many people older than that, and 16 seems like a reasonable goal.
However, if you think that the voting age should be lowered, you need to pick an age that has a hope of getting wide acceptance. So 16 seems pragmatic – let's try for 16 for now.
As to the second part of your question: again, prisoner voting rights (or lack of) have been in the news recently; I'm lazy.
So who are the people currently not allowed to vote that you think should be able to?
Speaker: Compulsory voting and election turnout, in reply to
"Well that, except for the (or most) bit, I certainly agree with."
I'm ambivalent about the most serious of criminal offenders being able to vote.
I absolutely think most people in prison should be able to vote because they're part of our society and will be affected by the policies (and will have been affected by the policies) of the people we as a society elect to govern. Essentially, it's their society too.
However, I'm not completely against the idea that a person could commit violations against other members of our society that are so bad that we not only remove them from the general public for most/all of their remaining life but we also say it would be perverse for that person to be able to vote while their victims cannot.
Speaker: Compulsory voting and election turnout, in reply to
People hate jury duty – compelling people to vote will only make them feel about it like they do about jury duty.
This is not a good comparison. Ben Wilson addressed this on page 2.
I don't have much further to add to what's been covered by Alex MacKenzie's blogpost and things covered by Haywood, Wilson and Moz and others since. I guess we should all stop referring to it as compulsory voting, since it is not that. 'Compulsory participation' maybe?
Digressing a bit: I also think that the voting age should be lowered to 16, and that all (or most) prisoners should be able to vote.
Hard News: The sole party of government, in reply to
"The absurdity of it is that the Greens are barely more left than Labour."
I would say they were to the right of Labour, in a traditional sense, because the power behind the Greens are the children of the comfortable middle classes that have the time to care about the subjective, whereas traditional Labour supporters are the struggling poor and the exploited workers. Its a Class thing.
Yeah that could be fair, in the sense that you mean. I was thinking of it more in terms of a lining each party's policies up against each other kind of way – tick box politics if you will.
(Not sure what you mean by "have the time to care about the subjective".)
Hard News: The sole party of government, in reply to
"Dad just died!"
"Oh dear, do you you need me to contact a funeral director?"
"No, a real estate agent, we only have ninety days to sell the house!"
Ok, I know that it won't really be like that, as it would have to date from probate being granted at the earliest. And, unless the timeframe is really generous like 12-18 months, it makes whether or not you pay CGT at the whim of the property market in your time and location. Doer-uppers in Lumsden are probably slow to sell.
As I understand it it is two years in Australia. That would be fine. As I said, Cunliffe's comment about 90 days, or one month or whatever, was poor. He, they, really needed a more detailed understanding of their own tax policy given that it was a *new tax policy* and a key difference between National and Labour and bound to come under scrutiny. It's not like they don't have a lot of models around the world they can look to, and it's not like they weren't already planning a CGT in their previous campaign.
Building the case for "why I very strongly considered voting for Labour, but then didn't" is fairly easy. There's the problem, I guess.

App Permissions Description:
• Storage: TripAdvisor uses Google Maps, which uses external/USB storage for caching downloaded map information.
• Your location: These permissions are needed to obtain your location so we can help you discover hotels, restaurants, and attractions around you. Network-based location gets a quick location, but is not usually pinpoint accurate. GPS is a bit slower to initially locate you, but is usually more accurate.
• Camera: The TripAdvisor phone app allows you to take a picture using your Android device camera directly.
• Network communication: Allows the app to transmit information to and from your phone via the Internet.
• Your accounts: We are using the Android Application Account Manager to store your credentials in a TripAdvisor account (you can find it in Settings under the Accounts tab). If you remove the app we also remove the TripAdvisor account on the device.
• System tools: This location provider permission provides more detailed location information so that TripAdvisor can pick the best possible location source for your current situation. The "test access" permission allows Android to check if it can use your external/USB storage for caching map information.

Q. Why is talking openly about money so important to you?
A. There's so much we can learn from one another! Think about everything you share with friends and family when it comes to other kinds of advice. We have no problem talking about relationships or career or health, but money is such a taboo.
When I was graduating from college, headed to a job on Wall Street, I realized there was so much more I wanted (and needed) to learn about personal finance. Once I opened up about this to friends, I found that we were all in the same boat. There's something very reassuring and motivating about the fact that we're all in this together. With Financially Fearless, I'm excited to blow the lid off this money taboo and start a real dialogue.
Q. In addition to running Learnvest you are also a Certified Financial Planner yourself. What financial topics do people ask you about the most?
A. I think the root of the questions I receive boil down to this: If I have an extra dollar, where should it go? How do I prioritize my next dollar with so many competing goals? How do I maximize my money?
Our wallets are pulled in countless different directions, so I believe it's important to have a financial plan in place.
Q. How does your approach differ from that of other financial planners?
A. Money can be so complicated and full of unnecessary jargon. My approach centers on making all of this information accessible and consumable. Financially Fearless is an opportunity to learn the basics, but more importantly, to start figuring out how to take action in your life.
Q. You talk in the book about how a full 30% of your income should go to lifestyle and how you choose to spend it is up to you - how do you like to spend your 30%?
A. Yes, I'm a big believer in the 50/20/30 budgeting method. Once you've taken care of your Essentials (50% of your take-home pay) and your Future (20% of your take-home pay), the remaining 30% is yours to enjoy. Personally, the things that I value highly include gifts for others, travel, exercise—and fresh flowers (which are relatively inexpensive given the happiness they provide me!).
Q. How can people envision a better retirement?
A. Retirement goals can be daunting for many people. But instead of being paralyzed by that number, you need to set a plan into motion so you can chip away at the goal and start funneling savings into retirement accounts asap.
One of the exercises in Financially Fearless involves envisioning yourself at age 65+. Imagining the day-to-day life you want for yourself in your retirement years helps you recognize that the money you're depriving yourself of today can have a big impact down the line.
Q. What encouragement would you give to someone starting to pay off their debt and feeling overwhelmed?
A. Take it one day at a time! I always say there are two things in life incredibly easy to gain and hard to lose: extra weight and credit card debt. As with all goals, break it down into smaller steps. The first step I recommend is putting a freeze on your credit card spending. Once you've hit pause on additional debt accruing, you can focus on getting your existing debt down to zero.
Q. Living in a big city like New York or San Francisco can get really expensive. How can people living in expensive cities still stay on budget?
A. Living in an expensive city can be a challenge, but it's all the more important to stay on budget when that's the case. Typically, housing costs are the biggest drains on budgets in expensive cities (as a New Yorker, I understand this 100%), so it's important to minimize that cost as much as possible.
Analyze your current spending and then see what adjustments you can make. Track every dollar you spend to hold yourself accountable.
Q. The story of how you founded Learnvest is like a dream come true for many young entrepreneurs. Was it always your dream?
A. Entrepreneurship is in my blood—I come from a family of them. As soon as I realized what an entrepreneur was, it seemed like the perfect place to channel all of my energy!
My idea for LearnVest perfectly merged my desires to grow a business and to make a positive impact in the world. LearnVest was such a big dream that I dropped out of Harvard Business School in the heart of the recession to pursue it full-time.
Q. If you could give one piece of advice to an aspiring entrepreneur, what would it be?
A. When everyone zigs, zag. Leaving business school during the recession may have been a crazy move, but turning away from the tide can have big pay-offs. It can be OK to take risks (with a business plan and a strategy in hand!)—you just have to make sure that it's a calculated risk.
Q. Who is your financial inspiration?
A. Through LearnVest, I've encountered so many mentors with inspiring financial stories. Personally, the most valuable advice I've encountered is to invest my time in getting the big financial decisions, like proper insurance and a good investment strategy, right—not to spend my hours obsessing over ways to cut small costs. Curveballs will come. It's essential to make sure you're doing as much as possible to protect yourself.
