A Financial Statement Cheat Sheet for Startup Entrepreneurs

By Daniel Kehrer 

Daniel Kehrer

Daniel Kehrer MBA Candidate

Most startup entrepreneurs  never had a formal course in business finance, and plan to earn their "MBA" at the School of Hard Knocks. If that's you, here's a "cheat sheet" to understanding three basic financial statement flavors: Balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements.  Click to read more.

Controlling Husbands - The Dangers of Complacency Sex in Controlling Relationships

By Dr. Jeanne King, Ph.D. 

 

Dr. Jeanne King

Dr. Jeanne King, Ph.D.

Complacency sex" is having sex so as to avoid the consequences of not having sex. It's a very common practice in controlling relationships....It usually starts out innocently and as a result of the woman (in the case of heterosexual relationships) encountering the aftermath of refusing sex.  Click to read more.

Money for College: Pay for School Without Loans

By Tanya Knight, MBA

 

 

Tanya Knight

Tanya Knight, MBA

The number one reason most people don't pursue higher education is the cost. It's no wonder, given the ever-increasing price of obtaining a degree. A four year degree from a private college can run as much as $105,000 once you add up tuition, room and board, books and other fees. Even state universities cost an average of $28,000 by the time you finish your Bachelor's Degree. Click to read more.

Creating Visibility When Working

From Home

By Terry Pile, M.Ed., GCDF

 

Terry Pile 2011

Terry Pile, M.Ed., GCDF

Working from home is considered "career suicide" by some. A  recent survey by Korn Ferry found that 61 percent of executives surveyed believe telecommuters are less likely to advance in their careers, even though 78 percent think remote workers are just as productive, or more so, than their in-office counterparts.  Click to read more. 

Organizing Your Job Search

Tara Goodfellow, MBA

Perhaps you're so focused on your studies you haven't given much thought to life after your degree. Or, perhaps you have, considering the almost nightly depressing news about the state of the economy. Either way, a plan is a wise idea.

Natalie Jobity, MBA

You've all heard the saying, "You never get a second chance to make a good first impression." Well guess what? It's true. People form judgments about you before you even speak. In fact, research has shown that impressions are formed in the first 30 seconds of interacting with someone new. That's right; you have less than a minute to impress a new acquaintance.  Click to read more.

I know it's buried in the back of all of our minds, and I hate to be the one to dig it back up but summer is sadly coming to an end....There will be tons of sales, shopping and spotting! Back to school sales are right around the corner, and now is the time to start paying attention to those sale signs plastered in the retail windows! Click to read more.

Love Will Come Again...and Again...and Yet Again

By Dr. Torri Griffin, Ph.D., LPC 

   
When I think about what college students struggle with in relationships the most, I think about two words: peer pressure. Embarking on a relationship on campus is risky business primarily because of the captive audience. Questions abound, like, "How will it look if I start dating...you know who? What if it doesn't work out? What will people think? Who will they blame?"  Click to read more.

     School Daze

     By Dwight Harshaw

 

It's August already and thousands of college students are preparing to go to school. One important aspect of their task is how to pay for it. My recommendation, pay with scholarships and cash. For many, that is easier said than done. If you are one of those who are financing your college education with loans or you're thinking about it, here are some things to consider.  Click to read more.

Why F is the Scariest Letter

of the Alphabet - Part 1 

By Dr. Marcia Cantarella, Ph.D. 

 

M. Cantarella

Dr. Marcia Cantarella, Ph.D.

When we think of F the word that comes to mind is failure. (Then there is the other "F" word, but we will not go there here...) When you think of F in relationship to college life it is a screaming panic letter invested with all kinds of power. Who knew that your entire life was wrapped up in one little letter of the alphabet?  Click to read more.

Beware College Students: The Dangers of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Lurks

By John Sutton, B.S, M.A.

 

John Sutton

John Sutton, B.S., M.A.

On a regular basis, some students have a tendency to test their maximum level of alcoholic beverage consumption, and some even experience death or have near death experiences. All students should be aware that certain alcoholic toxicity levels can cause death. First time drinkers are more at risk than frequent drinkers.  Click to read more.

After Carnival the most typical party in the NorthEast of Brazil is Saint John's Party (Festa Junina). It begins before St. Anthony's Day (13th June) and it continues until St. Peter's Day (29th June). St. John's commemoration attracts thousands of people to this Brazilian region. They want to taste regional drinks and food - based on corn - and try to know regional legends, typical dances and music. Click to read more.

What have you heard about Kazakhstan? Do you know anything about this country? Most people in the world learnt about Kazakhstan, when they had seen the comedy "Borat" with Sacha Baron Cohen in the title role. But Kazakhstan bears little resemblance to a film about Borat.

In our daily experiences it is not common to meet in one place a mixture of people whose cultures and backgrounds- even beliefs and personal stands- are totally different. The unique about this group is not the cultural diversity they symbolize, but the profound sense of unit they spread around as if they complete each other.  Click to read more.
