the school has 3 sections
one great thing about the acadeamy is you dont necacarally have to work at the spa
she was needed at least a c+ in english to get into college
this was a big problem for her
she did not have an overall focus
she did not know what she wanted to do
her dad sugested for her to try hair design
little did she know her dad had already aplied her for the school and got her in
she did not enjoy it at first but eventuall it tuned into one of her passions
she had a very hard time getting a job but eventually she got one in a strip mall in abby it was not very big
on her first day he left her alone in the salon and nobody came
she waited it out and on the second day she got 2 customers and she only made 10 dollars in an 8 hour period
her first pay check was 34 dollars
her dad told her to quit and never go back
her dad told her to hand out as many resumes every where she could
she got a job at great clips
at this job her first ay check was still only 281 dollars
after 2 weeks she decided that it wasnt the place for her so she quite
this time she went to her instuctor who got her a job no problem

the persuaders

advertisments are everywere you look
advertiseres are struggling to find space because they have created a vicouse circle of clutter
once your in you cant stop because the condumer will forget about you instantly
they decided that airlines had forgotten women so they questioned how they could make the airline better for them
these questioned have allowed them to advertise better
there add will not show any planes travallers or have anything to do with the actually planes
all it does is attract a certaom target market
does it go to the heart or the head
everything works you cant advertise by saying you are better then something elese
45 000 people decided to go look at a factory were there car was made for a vacation
they are looking for comunitie and meaning

Uncle Levi

ask the question why
"suck it up your investing"
you can keep going by answer the question why
training is all realative
what should drive you is being able to creat something from nothing
being an entrprnure is a verb not a noun
the process changes
you must go through the process of discovering what your good at and what your not
be prepared to play many roles
it is going to be extremly stress full and exahsting
dont think about what you are owed but what you can contribute
did not graduate from university
all you need is to think you can do it
had been involed or 8 or 10 different companies
not all were sucsesfull
you have to just think about it
your imagination is going to try and creat something from nothing
you need to ask yourself how maney ways you can do this
often imagine
but you must balance it in the real world
so many start on somethinf but they dont have a plan
you need a plan!
you need a partner!
you need to get together with someone that you really like
dont do something that you dont like
if its  something your not really passiont about then its going to be hard to stick with it
there needs to be somthing that seperates you from everthing eles
if you give them somethign that there not expecting its very powerfull
become a reader
if you spend 10000 hours at something you will become great at it
ask!
if you ask then you avoid making the mistakes yourself.
being in the poeple loveing business
when you really care about people they notice
always stay humble
always be prepared to do the lowest part of the job
find ways to have fun
most of your life will be spent at work so make it something that you enjoy doing
he made his work fun
business needs to have a fun componet to it because it creats loyalty
serate business and personal
it isnt healthy to be angry
consideer it a skill to let go and get over something
become finacally literit
if you want to start make money you have to be able to count for it
learn how to read a fiancal statement
learn how to read a balance sheet
put your self  in a situation that test you AQ
the hard times will come
wait and be paciant
live in your margen
keep your money
there a tun of million airs that didnt make a tun of money they just learned how not to spend it
you shoundt try to be makeing money you should try to do something really well
figure out what you want to be like
give more then they expect

he worked in a grocery store
he began to see the world as one big place to sell to
he would not take no for an answer
he loved baseball
je soon realized that his baseball and school work would not make him rich

work was evertythinf to him
at 37 he made alot of money selling the multi mixture milsake machine
at the age of 50 his sales started to slow down

robert kiyosaki (rich dad poor dad)

he had 2 dads one was rich not in money but in his life
his other dad was poor not because he did not have money but because of his life
his one dad told him that money is the root of all evil
captalist vs socialist
captalist wants to be better
sociallist wants to be equal
 did not do well in school he flunked out at 15 and 17 because he could not write made the new york times best sellars list 3 years in a row
thinks school is extremly important
money: we all use it
in asian culture being a teacher iws the highest calling
in america it is the lowest
 being a techer is the highest profestion of all
in his mind  a capitalist in his heart a sociallist
he is both his rich and poor dad
if your a wimp they shoot you down
as a capitallist he loves the dog eat dog world
how to get rich???
when you have money you think your intellegent when your poor you think you are stupid
this is wrong
he has made money by simplifying financak subjects
he takes things that are complex and makes them simple
1 scolastic education
2 professional education
3 financal education

the poor dad thought he only needed soclastic education and professional education
the rich dad thought all you needed was finacal education

he has lost 4 business in hi slife time but each time he got smarter
asset puts money in
liability takes money out
to be rich start a buch of assets
when he buys a stock he does not buy hopeing it goes up
the reason people loose in stocks is because they do it for capital gains
food will go up

its not money that makes you rich its your hert and mind

Seth Godin everything is broken

-broken on purpose
something that is made for something other then the normal purpose

Seth Godin

Otto Rohwedder invented  sliced bread but nobody new about it or used it for the first 15 years of its existence
this was because he never got his ideas to sped.
at the heart of spreading ideas is the t.v industrial complex.
But now t.v is no longer working.
the obvious reason is because we want to just ignore stuff.
you need to make it remarkable
the top selling DVDs changes every week because everyone wants whats new.
marketers used to make average products for average people
they would ignore some people
you need to find a group that is obsessed with the product
sell to people who are listening
the riskiest thing you can do is be safe
very good is bad
be remarkable
dont be boring or like everybody else

does school kill creativity

education is something that goes deep with people
education is what is going to take you into the futer that you cant grasp
creativity is as important in education as literary
kids will take a chance they are not frightened of being wrong
if your not prepared to be wrong you will never be able to do creat anything
all children remain an artist
you grow out of creativity through education
as chilldren grow up we educatate from the wast up
intelligence is dinamic
creativity comes throught the interaction of haveing a deifferent way of doinr things
intellegence is distinked
if all insects were removed from the earth then the human race would die off within 50 years
if all humns were removed then life would fluorish

what can we do to personalize education to meet your needs?

organize classes not by grade but by ability level and intrests.

hunks hauling junk/ college foxes moving boxes

I think that the hauling junk bussiness is really great. its a good idea because people will always have junk and you will always have lots of emplyees. tis is also good because it will attract lots of females that will want hunks hauling thier junk. that is also why i think that foxes moving boxes is good aswell. they realized that they would also be able to attract guys who want college girls helping them move. one issue i have with this is also people may not want to hire some college girls because they feel like it is sexist.
