How did your family influence your attitude toward money?

My family is very entrepreneurial, so I’ve always looked at finances from a business perspective. Whether as an individual or a household it’s important to understand your revenue streams and expenses, and to look for quality and value when making decisions about how to spend money wisely.

What is the best financial advice you ever received?

I’ve always had to earn my own money. Even though I was involved in a family business, there was no free ride for me or my eight siblings. My parents always made sure that we were compensated for the work we did. I appreciate the value of money because of this.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 29, 2011) - A team of MBA students from York University's Schulich School of Business has won the inaugural 2001 Schulich International Case Competition in Sustainability, held November 25-26 at the Schulich School of Business at York University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Two weeks before the competition, the 17 teams received the case study, featuring a complex issue facing the mining industry written by Schulich executive-in-residence Richard Ross, former chairman and CEO of Inmet Mining Corporation, and Carolyn Burns, MBA student and President of the Schulich Natural Resource Opportunity Club.

The Schulich team of Michelle Hassen, Deanna Wu, Rafal Smerd and Jeff Butchereit beat 16 other teams from leading Canadian and U.S. business schools, including Columbia Business School, Fletcher School from Tufts University and Queen's School of Business. The winning team members will share a cash prize of $5,000.
