Ent week


My team and I decided to sell hot dogs. Now even though they were not as popular as hamburgers or pizza, we sold out every day and made some killa profit, so all in all it was a good time with my friends. I had some great experiences and I now know that if you want to sell stuff, location is key! Not to mention how you advertise your product and the service which we had. To aplly this to my life i could see how it is helpfull with being friedly and outgoing to people, and to presue my goal, and set goals of course.

Toms Shoe Drop


The shoe drop is were people go and give away free shoes. Blake was the one who started this movement and started a company named Toms, and there if you buy a pair of shoes, a pair gets giving to someone who doesnt have shoes. The shoes are made in Argintina and are giving to people all over the world. This is a very good and very productfull way to invest your time and money into kids that havnt had the chance to wear shoes.

What I learnt from Arnold..


The video on the Mr.Universe/ superstar actor/ rollmodel is that no matter what you do you must follow your dream. Try new things, Arnold was good at this. He got tired of winning compitition after compition so he took acting school and became a known actor. He is now the governor of california and is a multi-millionair. Something that inspired me is not to let people bring you down and just get off your butt and get to work and never give up.

Blue Ocean Stratagie.


The blue ocean stratggie is creating your own market. Like airplanes for example airplanes created there own market because there is not much competitiopn. Apple is another good example because there is not much that can compete with them in the industry of ipods/mp3s because ipods will win any day. And the new ipad is the hottest thing in its idustry. The blue ocean stratagie is a succesful way of making money and wiping the compition out of the game.

foldio


Christian has a folder that is smaller than regular ones and doesn't crease the paper. Most of the dragons backed out except for 2. He sold his company to Theo for 80,000 ponds (round 200,000 Canadian) and 30% of the company. I think that this could go somewhere because kids in college would see this as a big convenience. So i think that by taking this deal he made the smarter decision.

Element Bars


John Miller is and entreprenuer that started his own energy bar buisness. started it a year and a half ago in 2008, wanted 150,00$ and 15% . The sharks are a litlle uneasy on what to do. 36.00$ for a pack of 12 granola bars with my name on it. It seems to me like a little bit of a scam. But in the end he got a agreement licence, 150,000.00 $, 4 % royalty and gave up 30% of his company. In the end i think he took the right offer.
