the apprentice 2

a week with Lil Kim, and on the road with Moby, leave the road open now narrow so then you can get a lot more then what you wanted. Net worth presented the experience a lot better than magma because they actually had the people there instead of pictures. But magma had better experiences with celebrities, like spending a week with Kim and Moby witch made a hefty amount of money and won with $21,000 and Net had raised $11,000. John and Erin got sent back so either one could get fired but I think John will because he did a horrible job and Erin did nothing wrong. John ended up getting fired. So in business you send who is best not your friends that would be second best because if you want to succeed you but out the best to receive the best.

6. Never Stop Learning

You are never to old to learn, because your brain is a muscle and if you stop training that muscle and go to train it later on you will have troubles starting same thing with your brain.

The Apprentice

Make sure to give out clear directions and take responsibility, so that everyone knows what they are doing. Advertising and discounts make people more interested and can bring a bigger amount of customers. The team with the safari theme one because they advertised and use coupons to draw people in and they were more organized. The other team did a clown theme that was not a success because it did not advertise and they were not organized. Audrie was fired because she did not take the responsibility of guiding everyone, she knew the people were not trying hard enough yet she didn't guide them to the task clearly.

Master Moves

He is from Vancouver BC, 300k investment for 30%of his company master moves. The sharks are stunned that he thinks that his company is worth 1 million dollars. All the sharks backed out and as he walked away one sharks offered 300k for 100% of his company. But I don't think that this company is worth over a million dollars I think it is a good idea or a item to use for your core but there is way to many products out advertising for ab work outs.

Uro Club

25k for 51%, this product is making it able to go urinate without walking a couple hundred yards to the bathroom or woods, it holds 18oz of urine. 300k was put into this uro club, and three thousand have been sold already. All but one shark have declined because they just did not want to handle the business humor and the one shark offered 25k for 70% and that deal was accepted.

Pork Barrel Spice Rub

Pork barrel spice rub is great on meant and vegetables, the owners are wanting 50,000 for 10%. They are expecting over 1mil in profit Within the fist year. The offer from one of the sharks was 50% for 50,000 and they accepted the offer, a lot of the sharks dropped out because it is a big market to battle in and it is really risky because it ether it sinks or swims. I personally like the product but i would not want to invest into it unless I would get a large percentage. But the choice they made I think was stupid because they said that there was going to be 1 million dollars in profit within the first year and they sold 50% of there company for 50k which was a big loss.

Time Managment

Randy Pausch - The last lecture he is a professor . His childhood dreams were being in zero gravity, and being captain kirk. Also to play in the NFL, he learnt more from not accomplishing it than the ones he had accomplished. When no one bothers in telling you, you are doing nothing wrong they have given up on you. Experience is what you get when you did not want it. There is a lot to be learnt by leadership, another childhood dream was to win a big bear. The brick walls are there to stop people that don't want it enough. When you have given it all you got it is best to hear that you can do better so you just keep trying harder. Loyalty is a two way street. He doesn't believe in text book teaching because student will learn more while having fun, and always raise your bar to students because anyone can do a lot more when they are push to there limits.

Reflecting on the experience

The only problems we have encountered, was that we did not get the ice cream for the floats we originally were going to do. The weather for the whole week was supposed to be raining the forecast said. So we took things to measures and agreed that we were going to sell muffins donuts and cookies because of the weather not being great for ice cream floats. By selling muffins donuts and cookies the donuts and cookies did not sell as well as we thought they would. So we decided to just sell muffins and it was a success and sold out.

I learnt that organization and planning is harder than I thought and that what you have planned might have problems, but every problem has a solution. If I had to apply this to my life it is a lesson well learned, I have learnt more about organizing and something so simple can make profits it only takes time and thought.

toms shoes

Shoes for tomorrow project, every time he sold a pair of shoes he gave one pair away to the less fortunate. Blake invested all his money and time into this project, he made it in may 2006. Blake advertises through customer involvement. They don't just drop off the shoes they go right up to the kids and fit them for them so they are not just happy with the shoes they will be satisfied with the fit to.

Not just physically but emotionally you can but yourself through and succeed what ever has been set. I have also learnt that being focused on your goal is easy as long as you have confidence and not doubts.

Blue Ocean Strategy

"blue ocean strategy" is biased on creating a a new market were there are no other markets. they take a new idea and make it fresh way beyond everyone else like Cirque Du Soleil, circus are getting dull with animal acts so they brought people doing amazing stunts which was an excellent success. Focus on the big picture and don't get distracted and move onto something else. Avoid blood fill waters like entering fixed markets that ruin other companies. Reconstruct market boundaries by creating strategy's. Reach beyond the existing demand by thinking in to the future needs. Get the strategic sequence right by reasoning why your product is the best. Overcome key organizational hurtles meaning the will be problems but you just have to run them out like an obstacle ever problem will have a solution to success. Build execution into strategy by creating trust.

Energy element bars have been running for 1.5 years, users can visit the site element bars.com and make a custom energy bar and rapper for only 36$ for 12. Johnathan went in wanting 150k for 15%, because his company made 50k in sales and it just started. He is from British Columbia, sharks called him a mini shark because he was butting them in the possession to think over there thoughts. One shark offered 150k for 75%, another shark offered 150k for 100%, 4% royalty pay to Johnathan, 75% is way to much for Johnathan, he wants it for 20%, and he does not accept the 100% company for 150k and 4% royalty, but he sells out for 30% and 4% royalty for 150k.

Sir Ken Robinson on creativity

Ken Says "everybody has an interesting education". All kids have tremendous talents and stand out in something they admire. If kids don't no they will have a go, because they aren't frightened of being wrong. But we learn later on in education that being wrong is not right. We don't grow into creativity we educate out of creativity, creativity is an invention of process of original ideas that have value. When we appreciate ideas they will have greater success, when they get put down that there will be less success.

Healthy business

the first thing about having a healthy business is that you have positive workers and great quality of stock. You have to respect and be polite to your customers so they will come back and talk about your business with others. Other than being not so polite the person with comes in might not like there stay, which will not give you verbal advertisement.

Hunks Business

I have learnt that a small company can quickly grow into a multi franchise, and that the foxes are pretty much selling there selves because there trying to target men and a none dirty job that anyone can do. The Hunks are more successful because there situation they are targeting everyone and are unique because there doing stuff people don't want to do. The hunks are successful because they have targeted a dirty job that many people just don't want to do and have a lot of confidence and have created strength within there company. The foxes are targeting a none dirty job that is so easy to do and they are women and are miss judged because they are not as strong as men and can possibly get sexual harassed. I have learnt that a dirty job is a successful job because many people don't like to get there hands dirty. The hunks won because they have a lot of faith in there company and by being on TV with confidence that they will be getting more business and 10% will be worth more than 250 thousand over the years. The big win because of TV exposure and a lot of advertisement witch is great for a company to be getting out there.

Sam Walton

Sam Walton was born as an active child, he had a state of mind to sell items cheaper that was known as the discount empire. As a young boy Sam joined the scouts, he jumping into the river to save a kid and that promoted him to an eagle scout. After he finished school he worked full time for 75$ a month at JC penny store and after that he landed a job at the gun powder factory. He later on married Helen on Valentines day. In 1945 he bought a Ben Franklyn store and it was a great success. Sam had no problem under selling other stores. The owner of the Ben Franklyn Store gave it to his son so it left Sam storeless. But he took this as another opportunity and bought another store for 5 thousand of his own money and loaned 20 thousand that he later on paid off in 3 years. Sam made up customer reach which made it cheaper for himself to hire less employees. In his mind was that if the price was lower he would make more money. In 1962 was the grand opening of Wal-Mart, over the first year there was over a million dollars of sales. In 1970 he opened 32 stores. Sam got leukemia but was a Guinea pig for a new drug and was cured, he was diagnosed for bone cancer and went through radiation therapy. On black Monday he lost 1.5 billion dollars which Sam didn't take hard because he was still the richest man in his state. Sam Walton died 1992 by the age of 74.

Facebook

Mark Zuckerberg is the founder of facebook, he is worth 3 billion dollars and he is only 23 years old. When he started facebook it was named facebooker. His life is simple, Mark lives in a one roomed apartment and sleeps on a matres on the floor. Facebook started with universities connecting with other universities. Mark started out with a couple of friends around his kitchen table and now has a office with plenty of smart people advancing the products of facebook and he is smart by keeping revenue costs low. In the work space Mark likes everyone to share there ideas social by not pushing anyone to make new ideas, the ideas just get made by friends socializing with eachother.

Myspace probibly did not succeed because the people working on it did not place everything as well, and the envirnment probibly wasnt as friendly as facebooks. Myspace did not have as many options as facebook, like on facebook you can search for friends and family and something so simple made myspace not succeed intime.

Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs parents never graduated which pushed adoption parents to not adopt him. The only way to do great work is to do what you love to do, keep looking and don't settle. He got fired from the company he had started but yet he say that was the best thing that had ever happened to him because if that had never happened he would of never mad pixar and next computers. Steve Jobs got told he had pancreas cancer that was not curable, but when he got them check it was a rare cancer that was curable. Fallow your heart and it will lead you to were you want to go.

John D Rockefeller

I learnt from this movie was that keeping track of money brings responsibilities. Because I now will know the money coming in and the money coming out and the balance of my money. That will encourage me to save and no better about spending it. Also to succeed in anything you have to have great faith whether it is doing bad you just have to try harder whether people have faith in you or not. But having faith in yourself will bring you great accomplishments.

Mike kind

One key idea I learned today would be that don't go into a business with someone you care about, like family or a close friend. Because you guys will have your doubts about things and you will have strong opinions about that and someone will end up leaving. You will experience a lot of things and that you will be able to push yourself harder then you ever imagined.

Who am I

I am a leader, I have a solid grounding on things and willingness to appreciate new things. I would never pass an adventure and I am consistently seeking new things. I face problems that come to me and not just but them aside. I am out going, comfortable with others, and up for anything, which make me animated. I see and know that there is more then one side to a story, so I am careful not to make judgments about others to hastily. I am a risk taker that would rather experience the world and take on challenges instead of sitting back and observing it.

The key points about building a business I learnt by Richard Brnson is that you don't have to be a genius to be successful because he didn't do so well at school he dropped out at the age of 15 and now he makes twenty five billion a year and has fifty five thousand employees. Another thing is that when some people get alot of money they just blow it and its gone but they never thought of keeping it or maybe making more by helping others. By treating others well they will want to come back. You will have Faith in people and people it what you need to run a successful business.

How to Kill the Entretreneurial Spirit

What i took from this article is that to be successful in a company you need to communicate with each other like a team. All the different sections of the company need to work with each other so they can understand what they both are doing. The development team has to work with the marketing team so they can understand what they are selling and have more outlook on what is going on.

How I learnt Confidence

I went in the mid town area and signed up to a competition. I just had that weird feeling in my gut that I could not do it but I still signed up and went on with myself to practice for the competition. I had so many doubts about this yet I went against my gut feeling and just went for it. Before I knew it my run was over, I just never had that feeling before that I actually thought I have done well and that feeling in my gut went away so i continued on with my other runs. I was competing with 20 other people but I noticed after the second run that I might just place in this competition. So i felt this feeling that I have never felt it was a stroke of confidence. I ended up placing 3rd in the competition and ever since then I have put my self through many more obstacles to concur.

1st post

Today in ent12 I have learnt more about courage that you are able to by pass your limits if you put your mind to it, and that your mind can concur more obstacle's when you have faith in yourself. Than when you don't have faith with what you are doing you will not be pushing yourself beyond your limits and not be faithful with your results. By having faith in yourself you let others gain faith in themselves. Attitude reflects in leadership.
