Becca Brown has already had not one, but two successful careers — and she's only in her mid-30s.
After graduating from Harvard University in 2000, Brown began working at Goldman Sachs — one of the more difficult places to land a job on Wall Street.
Upon earning her MBA from Columbia Business School in 2007, she
continued working for the bank but eventually left to launch her own
business.
In 2009, she founded Solemates, a line of women's shoe care products, with former Goldman colleague Monica Ferguson. Their products are now carried
in over 3,000 stores worldwide, and in 2014, the company sold several
hundred thousand pairs of heel guards, its signature product.

She attributes much of her success to a very important piece of advice she received in college: "Act as if."
"It's a mentality, a state of
mind, a perspective," Brown explains. "Things are not always going to go
your way in business, in your career, and in life. There will be
setbacks and disappointments, and you may be tempted to get down on
yourself, but you have to act as if — as if it didn't happen, as if it
didn't faze you, as if things had gone your way."
The pearl of wisdom came from
one of her college lacrosse coaches, Liz Berkery Drury. "While, when she
said this to me, it wasn't necessarily in the context of my career yet,
I have carried this advice with me throughout my life and career, and I
absolutely still follow it."

Jennifer Aniston and
Justin Theroux
Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston recently got married, and a new
report claims that one particular wedding gift wasn't as appreciated as
the rest. According to the National Enquirer, Justin and Jen were set a
vase from Jen's ex, Brad Pitt... but Justin apparently didn't care for
the gesture... or the gift itself.
"Brad bought the newlyweds a big Baccarat Crystal vase filled with
sunflowers, and sent it over with a note of congratulations," said a
source. "But Justin is definitely no fan, so it’ll be surprising if the
vase ever makes another appearance inside their home," the source added.
According to AOL News, Jennifer loves sunflowers, so Brad's gift (again,
assuming he actually sent one) was quite thoughtful.
Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston have been very happy together for a
few years now, but it does seem as though the tabloid is trying to make
something out of Brad's supposed gift. The unnamed "source" even went so
far as to mention that the "gift" was only from Brad Pitt, and not from
his wife Angelina Jolie... and that Jolie "may not have even know"
about the it. Scandalous!
There are all kinds of reports about Justin and Jen on the internet this
week from the couple expecting twins via IVF, to the duo living
separate lives just weeks after tying the knot. Rumors about this couple
have always been around, and there really isn't anything new being
brought to the gossip columns. Tabloids have been trying to make
something happen between these two for-ev-er, and now that they are
married, the rumors have only intensified.
Do you think Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston are happy together? Do
you think that the tabloids will ever stop reporting stories about them?
