Pricing

I think in order to do well in business you have to have reasonable prices while at the same be able to make a profit yourself. That can be difficult I know but its only fair and It'll make lifelong customers. As time passes it seems as tho prices go up over the years depending on the economy. I can remember when gas was 99 cent now its almost 4 dollars a gallon. Some things are beyond our control. Businesses like pawn shops try to pretty much steal your possessions and make nearly triple I never really understood that but business has its good and bad sides as well as days. When I become an entrepreneur I want to do things the right way and always be fair. 

Celebrity

I honestly beleive that if i was to come up with a product, using a celebrity would DEFINITELY help get me and my services offered noticed however,  i dont  think it would separate me from the million other people that have this same advantage. Its great to have the support of a famous person  help push your product simply because there is guaranteed success. Getting up to that point is the kicker! I must think, what makes my product worthy enough to get that far to the top? I have to put in major work but i think its possible.

Challenges

It seems that marketing is becoming more and more challenging as the years go by. The stock market recently crashed which in my opinion means that business is difficult to go into unless the idea is different, necessary, and demanding.

Endure

“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”

Education

I've been out of high school for 5 years and I am just now realizing how important education is and why it can get you far in life. I knew it was good to go to college and have a degree but it wasn't until I 'took a break' from college when I realized I could have been further than I am now. Its very important to find out what you like to do, what makes you happy, and what you think may better fit you career wise. I've had many jobs only to find out I'm just working to make a living, not exactly enjoying what I do. I had to experience those things in order to have such a passion now to pursue being an entrepreneur and also stay in the medical field. It is my absolute passion to help others and I will not stop until I've made a difference and even after making a difference I shall still continue. Education is not just to obtain a degree but to be a well rounded, knowledgeable person in a specific field. You can have a degree and still not know anything. It is my desire to know and grow as much as possible so that helping other people will remain top priority.

Looking Around

When I look around I see a lot of things going on that I would like to one day change. The purpose for me taking this business class was to get a better understanding of the economy  and how I could better present my business with so much going on in the world right now. I almost feel like I've waited too late to even pursue this type of career but the only way I can change certain situations is to begin and not give up. Looking around the world I see homeless people, hurting children, hungry families and my heart goes out to those type people. As stated before, the type of business I want is not necessarily to profit much but to reach out to the unfortunate and make a difference, help provide most of their needs if not all. Businesses now look challenging. I don't want to be moved by the failing stock market when it comes to making a business plan.

Ideas

I have many ideas! I normally try to keep them in a notebook, but I also use my ipad. It is better for me to write down my vision and keep an eye on it from time to time just to see how far I've gotten. Every successful person I've come in contact with tell me they're dreams are now reality because the very first thing they did was write it down. My first thought to that was 'yeah right' then one day I just got inspired to write down everything I wanted to do in hopes that my dreams will come true! I don't get discouraged when it doesn't happen right away , I just add more to it.
