Business Ideas

I just wanted to share some ideas that I would like to try out and want any impute I can get. What I want to do is start a new way of advertising. I have surprised at how much money people are will to pay for advertising. Well there are tons of ways to advertise and this is my idea. It's hard for me to describe how they would look but it would be the idea of a billboard. The difference is that it would be six feet tall and three feet wide. It would have hard plastic on both sides of it with lights on the inside so that it would be visible at night. I have seen these but in another country and even though they sound a little trashy, they look really good and it won't make the area look bad at all. I was thinking about building around ten of them in Logan and if they do good to keep going. I would want to go all the way through Ogden and Latin and threw Provo. It is a way that I think I could make a decent amount of money. But I don't know enough right now to be able to do something like this yet. It sounds simple but I would need to do a lot to get it started. If anyone has any impute I would like to know.

Entrepreneurs and the Community

You see entrepreneurs out there risk everything they have sometimes for their idea. They put it all on the line and some take a lot of risk. Sometimes you think it is foolish. But then you start to think how important entrepreneurs are. Think of what you like to do most, now think what you do every day. If you think about it enough you will come to realize that our lives have been transformed because of entrepreneurs out there. I will use a student as an example. You find a university to attend, you get an apartment, you go to the store, you get into your car, you pull out your cell phone, you put on your cloths, and I could go on and on. Every single one of these things is because someone out there had an idea. They wanted to make a school, they wanted to make cloths, they thought of a new way of transportation. The list is just so long it would be impossible to even start one. Entrepreneurs have made our community what it is today. If it wasn't for entrepreneurs we would all still be wondering around looking for berries to eat off of a tree. I am very grateful that someone out there had the idea of a movie theater, restaurants, motorcycles, music, and computers. I think how I could live without these things because they have become part of my life. I have a university to go to so that I can learn how to be educated. Entrepreneurs give to the community more than we think. Entrepreneurs made our communities.

Being Creative with Business

I am a member of the entrepreneurship club at Utah State University. This last week was E week. On Friday I had the opportunity to listen to a lot of very successful entrepreneurs. You always hear how important golfing is in the business world. It's were you get to know potential business partners, where you make business deals, and just do business. The CEO of Rockwell Watches made an interesting point. He doesn't really like playing golf. So instead of taking businesspeople golfing, he takes them snowmobiling, or boating, or motocross. He decided to do things differently and he has had a lot of success because of it. He learned early that you don't have to do things the expected say, you can be creative and still make things work out for you. Another thing that he did to show how he branched out and decided to do something a little different is how he advertises. He wanted Rockwell posted on professionals trailer at their events. This cost way too much for him. So what he did was start his own very small motocross team and found that in the rules that he was allowed to bring as many vehicles has he wanted. Usually only the very successful athletes have the money for semis. They didn't know where to put his semi so they put it next to the rest. Now everyone saw his name with all of the other top brands even though he wasn't in their league at the time. Entrepreneurs need to be creative to get an edge in the business world.
