Question about business
What business field should i study for to become an entrepreneur?i start college in the fall and im pretty sure i wanna study business.
i want to open businesses, buy apartment buildings, etc. But the term business is too vague. What is the subfield that teaches you how to open/maintain your businesses?
Every person now seems to see the Internet as the Business Holy Grail… ha… ha… ha!
What we find when we look deeper is greed… greed… greed. Sorry, no exclamation. If you believe different then you are naive.
The internet first gave us all great hope that a new dawn was beginning. That here was a great place to be, where everyone could be equal. Where every person could communicate honestly with each other. Where everyone could set their stall to making money any way they desired. That certainly holds true for the crooks and scammers. Sorry, but again, no exclamation.
We get bombarded with emails from what are called opt in lists. We see something we like, so we sign up with our email to get a regular sample of a supposedly new product or information that will change our lives for the better. You must be joking!
Our email address then gets sent about the internet to various joint venture lists, known as JV lists. And then we are called the simpleton list. The easy touch list and many other names.
What is happening now, and always has happened with the internet, reminds me of the old wild west of America, during the Gold Rush days. The old pan handlers had this inner desire to strike gold, much the same now with many people having a desire to win the lottery. Or start a home business online with their great idea. Every person wants to obtain great wealth quickly.
Those old westerners went on a great walkabout, searching here, searching there, searching everywhere for the business holy grail of quick, easy money. They were mostly hard working honest men, desperate to better themselves. And that is what made them easy pray to the vultures of greed. Just like now on the internet.
However, where there is money there is always ingenuity and greed. Some people realised that the gold prospectors would need equipment to search for gold. Some realised that tools would be needed, so they started a tool business and made a lot of money. Some realised that food would be needed, so they started a food business and made a lot of money.
But, the person who probably made the most money was the person who invented the trousers, called jeans. Well… except for the odd miner who struck gold. The people who made great wealth quickly and gave the rest of the gold prospectors hope for the future.
Is that now the same with the internet? Do we see, or more likely read about, some person gaining great wealth because they sold their internet business… and then believe we can do likewise? So how do we start to make money online? That is the burning question we would all like to know. Because what will probably happen is that an internet scammer will get us first.
The greatest desire with most modern people is probably to start their own home business. A business working from home that will give them their own financial independence. A home business where they can make money selling internet goods. However, where do we find such a home business idea that can generate great wealth for us? Or even just a regular above average business income.
First, we need to find something to sell. Next, we need to get lots and lots of internet visitors to our website. Oops, I should have probably mentioned the website first. How can we sell goods online without a website? But, then again, how can we sell something if we do not get visitors to our website? How can we sell something if we do not have something to sell on our internet home business? It is all starting to get rather confusing now. What came first… the egg or the chicken? Who cares. We must keep focused on our business idea. What business idea? I have not found one yet!
The above paragraph probably applies to the vast majority of people who have a great desire to break away from their mundane life and start their own business. However, what most people need to realise now is that internet selling does not only apply to the future. It applies to the here and now. If you want to be successful, then you need to learn to sell online. You need to keep focused and hopefully avoid the internet scammers.
Once you have an idea for your home business and have set it up, you then need to know how to get visitors or traffic to your website. The search engine Google seems to have a monopoly in that area. There are other search engines, like Yahoo and MSN, but for now, Google is king.
But for how long, I wonder? Nothing lasts for ever. Most large businesses start to lose a direction from their original roots with their thirst for expansion and over-expand. That usually makes a business ripe for takeover. A rising business will eventually reach a pinnacle. It can either stay there or meet another rising business on its way down.
What makes Google a lot of money is their ingenious Adwords system. You agree to pay Google a certain amount of money for certain types of keywords connected to your business. Then, when people search Google using your keyword a small ad box will appear, describing your product. If they click on the ad box your website will appear, where you can hopefully sell your product. You will also pay Google the agreed price for people clicking on your ad.
Would it not be fantastic if we could find an idea where we could obtain free ads from Google? A business idea that brings us thousands of visitors to our website from Google for free. Such an idea would save us thousands on ads. It could also make us extremely wealthy.
In 1999 a New York physician did come up with such an idea. Although he was a medical practitioner, he always had a dream of having his own home business. He wanted to work from home selling products instead of having the daily stress of attending to public health problems.
The business idea he brought to the internet originated in the offline business world. It was kept secret for many years by a select few business people, to ensure they made millions from it. What those business people did and still do, was use a simple method to obtain free ads in top class magazines. Ads that would normally have cost their business thousands were obtained free! And 100% legal.
By 2007 this New York physician had amassed a personal fortune of $75million with his free Google ads idea. But he always kept quiet about his free ads system.
Now retired from business, he decided to release his idea in e-book form. You can read how his business idea became a reality by downloading his ebook. It contains 124 pages with step-by-step clear instructions on how to obtain free Google ads.
This is one home business idea that turned into a multimillion dollar empire. The real deal.

For the world to progress into a better world, if EDUCATION is the key, then BUREAUCRACY is the stopper.
With the average global IQ going DOWN, and critical information being ridiculed into entertainment, will people ever understand?
With the dumbing down of MEDIA ENTERTAINED nations, education may just be the only way to stimulate brains to learn to think again. And maybe turn the average IQ back up again?
But will the ever growing bureaucratic OVERHEAD allow this to happen?

Surely THIS (getting education to embrace right-brained thinking) is what our Western world needs to clean out the poisoned thinking that has brought us into the mess we currently experience? Surely once we have sorted ourselves out, then we are in a position to help those in the Third Word? You are a great lady and a very positive force for these urgent, historic and pivotal times. May you and your family experience abundant Love and Blessings.

An investor's club targetting the poor? Hmmm….
big problem in your first statement: Assuming the house will appreciate that much is a BIG assumption, and would take many years for that kind of equity to accrue. Plus, an 'investor" wouldn't be able to access their profits of $500 unless a "majority" of 5,000 of them agree to a sale??? Yikes.
Good luck with that.

You need to send your resume out to real jobs you are qualified to do.
In your cover letter you need to state that you wish to work remotely, from your home office. LOTS of companies, especially in CA operate this way. They usually provide transportation for you to come in for an interview and for you to attend company meetings a few times a year, but otherwise everything is done online.

You've expressed yourself well with this idea. Why not send it as a letter to your representatives in Congress?

i'm sorry you're feeling down. it's hard mixing business and family. my fiance owns one with his family. unfortunately, you can't take someone's word these days, even if it is your family. i own my own and know that times are hard financially. it's tough to get customers to spend money when they don't have any extra cash (esp around the holidays). so, i feel ya on the money situation.
as far as you being alone…this is only temporary. i know that doesn't really help you now, but you and your fiance will live together eventually and you won't be lonely anymore. i'm kinda lonely, too. the only person i have is my fiance. all of my friends moved away. his family lives next door to us and mine lives in another state. if you feel like talking, send me a message. i work 12 hours a day, and unfortunately only have customers in my store for about 2 of them. lol

Hey Rania.
You make some good points
.
Maybe certain real issues should be brought to the forefront. Multinational corporatism should not override national sovereignty. This is the number one issue on the global stage and you know it.
Secondly, the people are aware of the lies and spin being pushed by the same powers trying to maintain control. It’s having a negative effect and it isn’t going to last much longer.
Now as for the educational system, you already know.

do some volunteer work and you will see that you really are blessed and it could be so much worse. And see how all the people that have real problems (not to say that you felling the way you do is wrong) are still happy and hopeful! You will occupy your time, do something good for someone else,a nd actually look forward to tomorrow!

I know where you are coming from, in my heart. Things and plans I made for next summer don't look like they are going to happen, I live alone my family is on the east coast of Canada, so Christmas to me will just be another day. The good things is I will still get to talk with my sons on the Christmas holidays as I will the grand-children.
You take care my friend, things do change, sometimes we just have to wait. I hope you and the boy-friend and the kids have a good Christmas and that things turn around for you
take care

I say this too.
You probably won’t post this.
In fact, you shouldn’t.
The people that you are representing gambled away our future in the derivatives market.
We are broke.
You know it and I know it.
So who is it that you are defending exactly?

The Western World has been dumbed down by a systematic focus on logic and left-brain reasoning. In this way, a country can create un-thinking masses who can be easily controlled. Also, left-brain thinking creates an ‘us and them’ mentality. It creates a ‘problem-focussed’ mentality. It creates a ‘me’ rather than a ‘we’ society. Right-brain thinking creates a ‘we’ society – a society where respect, sharing, solution-focus, inventiveness and genuine inquiry into difference happen.
