How to Use Financial Advice (and How to Pick Up a Girl at a Bar)

First, an Introductory Announcement

Welcome to the Mind Your Decisions “week of skepticism.” All this week I will address misguided or crooked financial advice. The general theme is to be more careful about advice from people who sell you products or don’t consider strategic implications. Especially watch for well-intentioned but poorly reasoned advice, as I discuss today.

5 Ways to Not Be a Complete SAP on Social Media

Kyle Lacy

Where do you draw the line as a person and as a brand? I think the issue I am having with so much irrelevant content is that… it is not new… it is not fun… if I wanted an ego boost I would turn on Joel Osteen or Tony Robbins. And most of all… it is not real.

The Grim Specter of Aging Gracefully

Mehnaz Thawer

Terribly enough, we live in a society that is full of images where young means all kinds of good things. And old pretty much is akin to being some kind of discard. The lost and faded beauty of a once seductive woman who has nothing to offer the world but a set of crowsfeet when she smiles.

Your Comment Is Awaiting Moderation (#bloggers)

Andrea V Lewis

As an active member of the blogosphere and a social media advocate, I want to know what everyone has to say. Whether, it's good, bad, or ugly. Without it, we limit the sharing model that both communities are based upon.

Close to Home

Samantha Karol

They say “home is where the heart is,” and I really think that’s true. I grew up in Massachusetts, and moved to Long Island in high school. When someone asks me where I’m from, that’s exactly what I say. I haven’t lived in Mass. since I was 16, so I’m technically not from there anymore, but I don’t consider myself a Long Islander, or even a New Yorker, even though I live in Brooklyn.

Round Three or Not Round Three: Part One

Scott Shrum

This is the time of year when, every time the phone rings here at Veritas Prep HQ, there's a good chance it's an applicant calling to ask us if he should apply to business school in the third admissions round, or if he should wait until next year. The answer, as is the answer for most things in life, is "It depends."

Keeping Your Personal Brand Fresh

Jason Mollica

When I embarked on my blog journey last December, I thought of it as just an extension of who I was, professionally and personally. I also looked at the blog as a way of being creative. It’s become more than that to me and those of you that read this. My blog is now part of my personal brand.
