Car wars.


I thought it was a very good experience and didnt know how easy it was to sell to people with the right price and the right location. we sold out everytime andf would like to do it again and it was a real learning experience threw all the other days cause we had them at a high price and it worked alot better at a lower price because everybnody bought them and loves them. we didnt do very well on the first couple of days i dould apply this to my life by doing it again with the school. I apply it my life is that i could rent spaces later in life and that speed is key as well as price and locations, so if i ever do something like this then those things will be key in my success.

Toms Shoes


Tom's Shoes started out as a small company and when they sold a pair of shoes, another pair would be given away for free. The day it was heard about, on his website 220 pairs of shoes were sold but he only had 120 so he had to go back to Argentina and make more. By October 2006, Mike had sold 10,000 pairs of shoes. When they sold shoes or gave them away, the workers would not just send the shoes, they would put them on the childrens feet and get to know them. Mike's story is very strong, he didn't just start a company, he started a movement. People didn't appreciate the shoes at first by thinking they are ugly, but once they heard the story behind the shoes, they fell in love. I think this is awesome people, just starting a little company has turned into a world wide support group who just love Tom's Shoes. He spends his marketing on his customers instead of advertising because that is already taken care of. Mike has given over 70,000 pairs of shoes to kids in South Africa and Argentina. This is such a continuing movement that will never end.

Arnold


Shwartzneger was just a rediculous human. Hes was uccessful in everything he did. literally everything, i watcherd the video and i didnt hear anything that even implied that he failed. he was just a successful man and nobdy could stop him. everything he did was successful. it was like he was living in his own little world and did perfect in everything even promoting the sport and acting it was just like he could not and would not fail because he didnt know anything else other than winning.

Google.


Google is unbeleavably popular because nobody is likle them, they are such a different company and envirunment that they are so far ahead of everyone that nobody can catch them. they push to just change a 100th of a second of their search times and always take every oportunity. they are such a chreative envirunment and let people work on what they want even if its not that great. they are jus6t alowed to be inovative and chreative whenever they want and are encouraged to be all of those things. google is just brilliant because its just a brand new thing and is way better than any of the compitition.

Blue ocean strategy


A blue ocean strategy is one that has no compitition and is basically making a brand new market. its like making a product that no one else has its like a brand new thing and its lie an every day product, so everyone else has to buy it because its like a way of life. take aviation for example, there was no market for aviation and when it started was just a massive market that everyone wanted to get into and some companies just doninated and mad massive amounts of money. If you're successful in a blue watter business then you will make a fortune. Re due market bondries. Focus on everything but the numbers. get the stratigic sequence right. overcome the biggest hurdals. Build exicttion into strategy.
